The high court in India's capital Delhi has upheld the death sentence for a former politician who shot his wife and burned her body in a restaurant oven.
Police retrieved charred body parts from the oven of the Delhi restaurant. The crime, which took place in July 1995, shocked India.
During the trial in 2003, the court was told that Sharma shot his wife after suspecting her of having an affair and then cut the body up into pieces.
He took the body to the upmarket Baghiya restaurant and put it into the clay oven, or tandoor.
Sharma, who headed the youth wing of the Congress party, was arrested in the southern city of Bangalore a few days after the murder.
