EXCLUSIVE: Tandoor case murder convict says ‘I want to make marriage counseling a must for couples’

The high profile murder case had become infamous as the "Tandoor Kand" where Sushil Kumar Sharma had shot dead his wife Naina Sahni over suspicion of her having an extramarital affair.

NEW DELHI: Former youth Congress leader Sushil Kumar Sharma, who was serving a life term for the murder of his wife Naina Sahni in 1995, was released after Delhi High Court’s direction. While exclusively talking to ABP news, Sharma said that now he does not want to join politics but wants to do social work.  56-year-old Sharma had undergone over two decades of incarceration in the 'Tandoor murder' case. Sharma had shot dead his wife in 1995, objecting to her alleged relationship with a male friend. He had then attempted to burn her body in a restaurant oven. The tandoor murder case is one of the landmark cases in India in which DNA evidence and a second autopsy were used to establish the guilt of the accused. While talking to ABP News, he said “Living in jail, I got to learn a lot. I shall try to solve the problems and difficulties faced by a married couple in society.” He further added that he wants to make marriage counselling must for couples. Sushil Sharma said that the jail has two types of people, first are those with criminal tendencies and others who are not able to control their anger under some circumstances and if correct suggestions are given at the right time then such people can be prevented from doing the crime. During the conversation with ABP News, he said that we started a counselling system for such people in jail. Sharma, who was in prison since 1995, had contended that he has already undergone the maximum prescribed sentence as mandated under the SRB guidelines. He was awarded capital punishment by a trial court in November 2003 and it was confirmed by the high court in February 2007.
