Karnataka High Court Justice R. Nataraj made a controversial remark during a bail hearing for a 23-year-old engineering student accused of sexual harassment. The judge stated that limbs should be cut off for people to respect the law, comparing the situation to the strict legal systems in the Middle East. Denying bail to the accused, the judge remarked that India's legal system has become toothless as criminals are not dealt with strictly. The court has issued a notice to the state government and scheduled the next hearing for June 8.
