The convict is Nayaz Ahmed, who had tried to strangle his wife Seema Banu to death on Sept. 2, 2019.

Following their marriage, the couple was leading a peaceful life until Nayaz began to quarrel with his wife daily besides restricting her against speaking with the neighbours. Nayaz, who had stopped maintaining the house, used to look at his wife in a doubtful manner and torture her.
