Vidya Devi Ginda was a woman who went missing from her home in England in 1973.

Her husband, Bhajan Ginda, was convicted of manslaughter in her case after the burned, dismembered remains of a woman believed to be Vidya were found in 1977. Bhajan confessed to her murder, although he later recanted and claimed that his confession was coerced. In addition to this, the remains were discovered to not belong to Vidya, although it is not known if they were ever identified. Bhajan was sentenced to twelve years in prison for his wife's death and served seven years of his sentence, and he died in 2012. The Criminal Case Review Commission is currently reviewing the case.
