Sheena Bora murder: CBI arrests Indrani's husband Peter Mukerjea

In a fresh twist in the Sheena Bora murder case, former media magnate Peter Mukherjea was arrested yesterday by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in Mumbai, hours after it filed a chargesheet in which his wife Indrani Mukherjee, the mother of the victim, and two others were accused of the crime. Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai have been accused of murder of Sheena Bora here in April 2012 and her body dumped in a forest near Mumbai. <br/><br/>The CBI spokesperson informed yesterday that Peter Mukherjea's name surfaced in the Sheena Bora murder case during its probe in the case and was arrested. The spokesperson however refused to divulge any further details in the case but sources in the agency said he was arrested for allegedly "shielding the accused" and "inconsistencies" in his statements. <br/><br/>Peter was placed under arrest after another round of questioning on Thursday. Mukherjea has been kept in the office of Special Task Force of CBI in Mumbai and will be produced before the competent court today (Friday). The development came on a day when the CBI filed a chargesheet in the murder of Sheena Bora. <br/><br/>The 1000 page chargesheet containing statements of 150 witnesses, 200 documents and seven statements recorded before magistrate, names Indrani, Khanna and Rai as accused–who were all arrested in August this year. The agency has charged them with criminal conspiracy to kidnap, murder, cheating, destruction of evidence, forgery and use of forged documents besides violation of provisions of Information Technology Act.
