Thank you so much all of you.
Table audittraillogentry have PRIMARY KEY and FOREIGN KEY defined, below is the
detail of existing table audittraillogentry.
As you can see ., it is referenced by 2 tables , "cdrdetails" and "cdrlogentry"
. "cdrdetails" table do not have the index whereas "cdrlogentry" has the index.
Now after creating the index on "cdrdetails", deletion has become fast, 12
lakh records are deleted in 16 minutes, which is a drastic improvement in
performance.
Before indexing deletion of 500 records were taking ~2 minutes.

Not as such, but you've not given us any details that would permit comment.
A reasonably likely bet is that this table is referenced by a foreign key in
some other table, and that other table has no index on the referencing column.
That would make the FK is-it-ok-to-delete checks very slow.
