His wife, Anju, was found dead at her home with stab wounds on January 11, 2000, the local media reported.
Initially treated as a suicide, the investigation later led to Ilyasi’s arrest following a dowry harassment and murder case filed by Anju’s family.
The TV celebrity, however, was released on bail three months later and had been publishing a magazine on civil servants and governance ever since.
Ilyasi was found guilty of murdering his wife by a court in New Delhi on Saturday.
“We will appeal against the verdict and sentence. My client is innocent,” Ilyasi’s lawyer, Manu Sharma, was quoted as saying after today’s verdict.
