[@jazz3572]

As per my opinion , you would never say to a person who literally just stabbed you to save you . Anju went into a fit of rage , stabbed herself, and then, when she became sane, realized that she went too far, henceforth asking her husband to save her.

[@thedesistudios]

Nice theory

[@tee26_05]

I was going to write this. Usually people commit suicide when they are not in their stable mental state. But after they commit, they realise the blunder they made because death is not easy.

[@KunalIsTrying]

That makes so much more sense compared to the narrative that someone who attempted to take their own life wouldn't ask to be saved. 1. She may not have intended it to be as severe as it happened 2. Most people regret attempting suicide after the fact

[@babi3580]

Exactly. I am a nurse and have taken care of many suicide attempt patients who call 911 and ask to be saved after they attempt suicide

[@FarhatAlam]

I remember my mother watching his show as I used to get scared and she used to tell me to sleep before it starts. Sad how this very talented man had to lose the prime years of his life like this.

[@shahnazkayani2310]

I also use to watch in U.K. and I heard what happened between him and his wife

[@SerialChiller-j9c]

I also have a feeling could Anju be a little “jealous” of his fame? Espcly because they both started IMW together, and possibly that drove her towards mental problems? Idk.

[@Uniqueen1114]

I absolutely agree with this. Her own family said she was short tempered and impulsive; the ideal kind of people to do such things.

After Anju got murdered, there’s no discussion about zen the psychotic fan. Was she simple upset that he took the alcohol from zen? And there’s no info on why she was so mad and the reason to kill herself.

It was a mental health crisis case turn to suicide and so clear.I feel so sad that this Man’s dreams were killed by this woman who needed help.These cases like mental diseases are not really shown in Indian justice system and they are taken highly for granted in the western legal system where they often misuse it. The lady was definitely suffering and neeeded help and this was evidently known by her family her parents and everyone close to her. That’s why there was no shock in their reaction at first to the knowledge that she committed suicide. They knee she was short tempered and may be previously had even attempted this and may b even blackmailed her parents with suicide warning previously. The fact that she said Ilyas save me also speaks volumes…why would a person who was just stabbed ask to be saved by that same killer? She was in public presence in ambulance she would have wanted to let them know that he killed her and don’t let him go free. I hope Ilyasi family finds closure and peace.

[@Bhabna28]

I was looking through the comments to see if anyone mentioned mental health crisis, I am so glad that you did! As a mental health counselor myself, it appeared Anju suffered from mental health illnesses. Her family acknowledged that she has had intense anger outbursts, which tells me she had trouble regulating her emotions. I am obviously speculating all of this based on the information provided in the video, but my take is she possess some of the cluster B traits, particularly borderline traits. Unfortunately, it is common for individuals with borderline traits to impulsively commit suicide as a way to alleviate their emotional pain or in some cases, even seek attention. An interesting information that I learned as a counselor is that borderline individuals that attempts or commits suicide will often regret what they did as they do truly want to live and made an unfortunate illogical decision based on heightened emotions. I think that is why she may have perhaps said “save me” to her husband towards the end because she truly understood the gravity of her actions and knew that she didn’t want to die but unfortunately had succumbed to her injuries. Unfortunately, the stigma of mental health is still very prevalent in many parts of the world and is not fully understood due to ignorance and lack of education. I truly believed if she got the proper mental health treatment, there is a likely chance she would have been alive today.

This case sounds like a classic case of a broken legal system, misuse of power by the judges, misuse of money and positions by the authorities, doctors, judges and other professionals and last but not the least, gross misuse by the sister and mother of anju ( the fact that they are women and can harass a man into giving up his daughter) The limited knowledge of the case and the narratives of Anju and her family tells me that short temper, unreasonable behavior is a hereditary issue in their family and I hope that justice prevails! Thank you for the detailed information on a case that shocked us viewers in the 90s and the 2000s. More power to you and your team!

[@namrathabaliga]

I still remember being shocked when I heard that he killed his wife. IMW was a fav show n Suhaib Ilyasi was so good in it... "Together we can and we will make a difference" was his line at the end. I stopped watching the show after he left...perhaps the shock of how looks/impressions deceive a person's true nature. Never really followed up on the case either. Happy to know that he was innocent. Thanks for the episode, you guys. As an aside, point that didnt make sense: Aliya saying, "We suffered a lot..my brother n my mother". Googled to find out that he remarried in 2006. He also went on to make other shows/serials which were popular.

[@confusedboy01]

[@shipratiwari3490]

Okay, so while growing up, I was scared of even the music of this show. I dreaded the nights it was on TV, cause my entire family loved it. Only to grow up and become a true crime junkie. Thank you so much for this episode, I wanted to know for so long what happened to the show and its host.

[@Rashmisharma-yc8fw]

absolutely loved everything about this story.....perfect narration. Keep growing you guys. Much love

[@lost_AP]

Great episode! Lots of unanswered questions as to what the motives were. However, my guess is that Anju only went on to say 'save me' because in the last moments she realised her mistake, that was made in her erratic state. As to why she could've done it, I think her standing in her family and maybe in public too, was being diminished because of her "hotheadedness"; implusive nature by her very own family. And let's not forget, she was living under the shadow of her very successful husband who was hosting a show; a show which was set to be her's.

[@anamitrakunte3447]

also i feel she felt alone per say as her husband was busy with work and then the z situation where he was paying more attention to the stalker could be possibly make her feel as though soaib was being taken away from her

[@justaboutanything1398]

As a teen, I remember watching this show and I used to mimic his tone and tagline, " together we can and we will make a difference". Its hard to believe that the man hosting crime shows becomes a center stage with his mentally ill wife suicide and worse her sister-in-law who further takes no stones turned to make this mans life a living hell for 18 yrs. I am glad that he is free from all the allegations and gets to live the rest of his life, peacefully. The show host is a great narrator and can run the show by himself.

My X was having the same symptoms as Shoub wife, and thanks to God, she is not in my life today 🙏 🙌. He made 2 mistakes to solve his own life mistresses, although he was solving many crimes on TV shows. 1- He should not involve her family because they were not supported in deed, infact they misled during her life and bettrated after she committed suicide. 2- He should leave her from begging, but I am sure he was blind in love with her and trying to save family & and the future of doughter. If he could atlest, she would be alive today.

Interesting episode! The motive is definitely in question here, whether it be suicide or homicide! Maybe it's her family which had a hand in making her go crazy mentally, in order to reap benefits of extortion from Suhaib, or else use 498A as a tool to move him out of the picture!

The motive is at the center of the investigation. To move from dowry to homicide seems opportunistic at its surface.

[@InstrengthCounseling]

Amazing! I'm still wondering the backstory behind Anju saying she lost to Z. I'm wondering if this had to do anything with she feeling sidelined or jealous by how much time he was giving to his work, his fans etc. It's a shame that none of the lawyers ever tried to explore the reason for their recurrent conflicts. Why did she need a divorce, why did he continue to prioritise his dynamic with Z despite his wife's obvious hesitation. Was he just enjoying his new found fame or he was attracted to him, which in the early 2000s in india was not a good look. I do believe that Shohib could have benefitted from a much stronger legal team.

[@KritiAnand-y4m]

look his if at all he would have been involved why would a father or a brother would take his side and berate his daughters temper and Aaliya was there in the house with them she was with his father so definitely he did not kill her coming to second point likee he did return the locket but then it was sent in his blood so even putting my self in his shoes I would accept it too cause its traumatic what if someone kill themselves just because I did not accept his gift. And if at all he was cheating why would he bring her back in his life?? Anju was insecure clearly she was they were in same batch both were intelligent both decided to do this show but he got the fame and she was an homemaker so it might be that caused the problem.

The mother and sister instead of pressing false charges on sohaib should've tried to find out the real reason of anju's suicide, they not only made his life difficult but also made Aaliya's life difficult.

Its very clear that anju committed suic*de becz of her mental unstability...she wanted divorce before suhaib was successful..nd now after his success she wasn't able to decide what to do...she wanted to divorce him but after his success she would have thought it will be her loss..so she got mentally exhausted n k#lled herself..turning his success in a downfall...she was sick..

[@sujatafernandes973]

This is a clear case of suicide. The lady was mentally unstable n had issues on her high temper, hot headedness, etc. It tells a lot of the lady's nature. Such unstable people always want near n dear ones total attention which is not always posssible at all. And in this case also not possible as her husbhand was very much into making shows n highly busy n she could'nt take it. Its sad her fly did'nt treat her in time and it aggravated to a unstoppable point. Her poor innocent husbhand had to pay the price for her unstable mind. Her sister's behaviour was so uncalled for. For her own selfish reason she was separating a child from her own father. So highly insensitive and selfish her sister was. I am happy justice prevaled although very late.

[@nivieb9]

Anju pleading to Suhaib to save her life doesn’t mean she hadn’t stabbed herself. Most certainly she didn’t just have a hot head, she was probably suffering from some sort of mental disorder, like bipolar or ADHD. In such a case, she would have totally lost her mind and stabbed herself. In the heat of the moment she didn’t feel pain but later when her temper subsided and the pain took over, she realised what she had done, hence, the plea. But, what about the top she was wearing not having any hole? Why did Suheb not tell the doctor the truth about her injuries? After all, that would have ultimately be revealed, and considering the gravity of the injuries, it was imperative for him to inform the exact cause of wounds. Why was she taken to a nursing home and not straight away to AIIMS? The blood loss must’ve been profuse, anyone who has a deep knowledge of crimes should know that any delay would have been fatal. What about the doubt raised by the second panel of doctors who said that they couldn’t say for certain which stab was first? Even though the third panel made the mistake of not referring to the first autopsy, this question begs an answer! Good job, you two! I love the way you present the cases objectively and considering both sides of the story in your podcasts. Keep up the great work 👍🏼
