India increases punishment for 'private part' injuries
The Supreme Court in India has increased the grading of punishment for fatal injuries to the testicles to first-degree murder.
The court has ruled that if a person with an intention to kill fatally injures another in what it has termed "the private parts", the accused will be charged with murder.
The ruling has come during a hearing on the verdict of a lower court, where a convict had been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder for kneeing a man in the testicles, killing him instantly.
Handing down a final verdict, the Supreme Court has said a doctor's evidence clearly showed the man's death was caused by shock from injury to the testicles and scrotum.
The new charge provides for a maximum sentence of seven years.
