NEW DELHI:
The Supreme Court will hear the death sentence of former Youth Congress president Sushil Sharma’s petition in April.
Former Youth Congress leader Sushil Sharma has been sentenced for the murder of his wife Naina Sahni and later disposing off her body in a tandoor (clay oven) in a restaurant on July 2, 1995.
Sharma was first awarded death sentence by Additional Sessions Judge G P Thareja on Nov 7, 2003.
Later in 2007, the Delhi High Court upheld the lower court’s decision.
Sharma then filed a petition in the Supreme Court.
Sharma killed his wife Naina, suspecting her of infidelity. In a fit of rage, Sharma shot her during an argument at their residence in Gole Market, central Delhi and then burnt her body in a tandoor.
