The sessions court in Mumbai on Thursday reportedly convicted Parvez Tak for the 2011 murder of his step-daughter and actor Laila Khan, her mother and Laila Khan's four siblings, reported the PTI.
Parvez Tak was found guilty of murder and destruction of evidence among other offences under the Indian Penal Code in the Laila Khan murder case, as per the PTI.
The sessions court will hear arguments on the quantum of sentence on May 14.

The prosecution's case was that Parvez Tak first killed Selina after an argument over her properties, and then killed Laila Khan and her four siblings.
The killings came to light a few months later when Parvez Tak was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police.
The decomposed bodies of the victims were recovered from the bungalow later.
The prosecution examined 40 witnesses against Parvez Tak, according to the PTI.
