NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court on Friday reserved its order on the appeal by former TV anchor and producer Suhaib Ilyasi who was convicted last year for murdering his wife. A Delhi court on December 16 convicted Suhaib Ilyasi for stabbing his wife Anju to death in the year 2000. Ilyasi was awarded the life sentence by the Delhi court which said that he "committed the murder and gave it a colour of suicide".
Ilyasi's wife, Anju Ilyasi, 30, was found dead with multiple stab wounds in her east Delhi home on January 11, 2000. Ilyasi had told the police that she had committed suicide. Suhaib, who came into limelight after hosting TV crime show - 'India's Most Wanted', was arrested on March 28, 2000, and later charges were framed against him after his sister-in-law and mother-in-law alleged that he used to torture his wife for dowry.
