The macabre murder of 29-year-old Naina Sahni, a Congress party worker, came to light in the mid-90s. Sushil Sharma was accused of shooting Sahni dead after suspecting her of an extramarital affair. Sharma later tried to get rid of her body in a tandoor of a barbecue restaurant, with the help of its manager, Keshav Kumar.
After her half-burnt body was discovered, Kumar was arrested but Sharma was caught only after a massive manhunt. Sharma was sentenced to death in 2003, while Kumar was given a seven-year prison term. A three-judge bench commuted Sharma’s death sentence to a life term, and was released in 2018.
