"India's main opposition Congress party, which has pledged to get tough on crime against women, suffered a severe blow Monday when a court convicted a former party leader of killing his wife and burning her body in an open-air barbecue.

Additional Sessions Judge G. P. Thareja convicted former Congress politician Sushil Sharma on charges of murder, criminal conspiracy and the destruction of evidence following the July 2, 1995 murder of his wife Naina Sahni.

Sharma, currently in prison, is charged with shooting his then 29-year-old wife, a pilot, on suspicion of infidelity, chopping up the corpse and shoving it into the grill at the Baghiya restaurant to wipe out evidence.

But police raided the restaurant, owned by a friend of Sharma, and dug out charred body parts later identified as Sahni's from the still-blazing Indian-style oven.

Experts said the charges could mean the death sentence for Sharma, who was president of the prestigious youth chapter of the Congress party when he committed the crime."

Words fail.
