The Indian Supreme Court has ruled that anyone who inflicts fatal injuries to the testicles should face first-degree murder charges. The ruling was handed down in a case in which a man had kneed another in the testicles, killing him instantly.
The attacker had been convicted in a lower court on the lesser charge of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.
The Supreme Court said that if a person, with an intention to kill, fatally injured another in "the private parts", the accused would be charged with murder.
