Tandoor case: HC refuses parole to convict Sushil Sharma

January 12, 2015 19:01

The Delhi high court today refused to grant parole to Sushil Sharma, who is serving life imprisonment for murdering his wife Naina Sahni and throwing her body in a restaurant's tandoor.

"I am not inclined to grant parole," Justice Siddharth Mridul said, adding that the convict Sharma can approach an appropriate authority of the government.

Sharma had sought parole for two months, saying he needs to take care of his ailing mother.

Sharma, a former Youth Congress leader, was convicted for murdering his wife Naina, whom he suspected of infidelity. He shot her with his licensed revolver on July 2, 1995, took her body to a restaurant, chopped it into small pieces and tried to burn it in the restaurant's tandoor.
