called "crimes" is that they are thought to be things that might cause a problem for another person. Things like killing another person, injuring another person, or stealing from another person are crimes in most countries.

Tandoor Murder case• New Delhi: Nearly two decades ago

on the night of July 2, 1995, in the open-air restaurant of a Delhi five-star hotel, a body was being burned in a tandoor. It was the body of 29-year-old Naina Sahni, wife of Delhi Youth Congress President Sushil Sharma.

• Enraged Sharma took out his licenced revolver and shot Naina Sahni thrice, hitting her on the neck and head. The third shot missed her and hit the wall.

•Sahni died on the spot. Sharma then wrapped her body in a blanket and took it to the restaurant where he chopped it into small pieces and stuffed it into the tandoor. Sharma then tried to burn the body in the clay oven but when police came Sharma escaped from the restaurant.

• It was in Bangalore that Sharma finally surrendered on July 10, pleading innocence. He was sentenced to death on Nov 7, 2003 by the trial court.

Is Crimes done by Planning?

can be hired by anyone who can pay them handsomely, Well educated young men, belonging to good families have been found involved in many a crime. • Some criminals get a hint from Indian

and foreign films and TV serials. If they succeed in committing one crime successfully, they become fabulously rich.

contributed much to the rise in crimes. Proper practical education, vocational training centres and supports to initiate more industries will helps to originate more job opportunities and reduce unemployment.

• Parents should guide their children and bring them up with good moral values. Parents should be good role models for their children, as ‘deeds speak louder than words’. 

• Strict rules and regulations will decrease the anti-social activities and mafias.

• Police force should be increased, empowered and their continuous patrolling will help to trim down offences.

• Strict hard punishments oblige the offenders to think about the punishments before committing a crime.
