New Delhi, Dec 16: Suhaib Ilyasi, best remembered as the host of the once popular television crime series 'India's Most Wanted', has been convicted in connection with the death of his wife 17 years ago, news agency reported on Saturday.
His wife, Anju Ilyasi, was rushed to a hospital with stab wounds on 11 January 2000. She didn't make it.
Ilyasi was initially arrested for harassing his wife for dowry that led to her death, a charge that he had vehemently denied at that time.
But in 2014, the Delhi High Court ordered the trial court to try him for murder as well.
Ilyasi had approached the Supreme Court soon against the high court ruling to try him under the stringent murder provision rather than dowry death but the top court rejected the view.
