TV show host Suhaib Ilyasi gets lifer for wife's murder

A Delhi court on Wednesday sentenced former TV anchor and producer Suhaib Ilyasi to life imprisonment for killing his wife Anju more than 17 years ago, saying he "committed murder and gave it a colour of suicide". Ilyasi told the police that she had committed suicide after a quarrel with him; he was arrested in March that year after a case of dowry was registered against him. Ilyasi, who shot to fame after hosting the crime show "India's Most Wanted", was earlier charged under 304 B (Dowry Death) of the Indian Penal Code.

But in 2014, the Delhi HC ordered the East Delhi court to try Suhaib Ilyasi for murder, too.

On January 10, 2000, Anju Ilyasi was rushed to AIIMS from Mayur Vihar-1 with multiple stab wounds.

As the judge pronounced the order, Suhaib shouted in the courtroom proclaiming his innocence and the life sentence handed out to him an "injustice". The barbers stated that they did not hear any noise or sounds of fighting between the couple.The court also found that Ilyasi tried to hide his wife's critical injury when she was taken to Virmani Hospital. The court said he might do so after informing the police of his plans two days in advance.

The prosecution said the case fell into the category of rarest of rare as the convict "betrayed the faith of not only his wife but of the public at large" as he was producing a TV serial and his image in the eyes of the public was that of a law abiding citizen. The counsel also said he (Ilyasi) never violated the bail conditions, and successfully ran magazine, Bureaucracy Today, covering bureaucrats, and has no criminal antecedents.

Anju's mother Rukma Singh had then moved an application in the trial court seeking inclusion of murder charges but it was dismissed in 2011. However, her autopsy report made it clear that during the post-mortem she was not menstruating on the day of the incident. She also said that she had purchased the apartment for Anju's safety, but later retracted the statement. "However, when the officer reached there, he saw the blood on the abdomen of the deceased, whereafter, he tied an old vest on her wound", the court said.
