Indrani Mukerjea, Peter Mukerjea, Sanjeev Khanna and Shyam Rai’s judicial custody, for the murder of Sheena Bora, was extended till 9 May on Wednesday. Indrani Mukerjea’s bail plea was rejected on 1 April by a special CBI court.
Indrani, along with her husband Peter Mukerjea, ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and former driver Shyam Rai are accused in the murder case of her daughter Sheena Bora in 2012.
While Peter was arrested on 19 November 2015, Indrani, Khanna and Rai were arrested in August 2015 and all continue in custody since.
The CBI has said that Sheena, 24, the daughter of Indrani from an earlier liaison, was murdered, her body burnt and the remains disposed off in the forests near Raigad, around 90 kms south of Mumbai, on 24 April 2012.
Among various angles, the CBI is investigating huge financial transactions and investments done through a foreign bank account and the individual roles of all the accused in the sensational high-profile murder case.
