The autopsy report in murder cases, the P.3 form for mental health assessment and other forms are provided free of charge by state and district governments. “My husband left me three children two years ago. The man who beat me is a friend. We have been living together for a year. He got drunk and attacked me,” she said while waiting in the chief doctor`s lobby. “I pretended to go to work today, but I came here to get the P3 form.” The majority of those searching for P3 forms are women.
