Tandoor case: Delhi HC refuses parole to convict

Sushil Sharma, who is serving life imprisonment for murdering his wife Naina Sahni and throwing her body into a Delhi restaurant’s tandoor, on Wednesday withdrew his parole plea after the Delhi High Court refused to grant him parole.

Justice Pratibha Rani said: ‘I am not inclined to grant parole. The petition is dismissed as withdrawn.’ 

Sharma had sought parole for three months, saying he needs to take care of his ailing mother who has been advised to undergo a knee surgery and physiotherapy.
