Peter Mukerjea charged with murder and criminal conspiracy
Media tycoon Peter Mukerjea, who was arrested on Thursday in the Sheena Bora case, has been charged with murder and criminal conspiracy by the CBI.
Mukerjea has also been accused of destroying evidence and lying to protect his wife Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case. He has been sent to CBI custody for three days, till November 23.
Mukerjea on Thursday, was arrested by CBI hours after the investigation agency filed a chargesheet in which his wife Indrani, the mother of the victim born from her first marriage, and two others were accused of the crime.
Sources in the probe agency said he was arrested for allegedly "shielding the accused" and "inconsistencies" in his statements.
The CBI had also filed a chargesheet in the case three months after Sheena's remains were found in a forest near Mumbai.
Sheena was allegedly murdered by Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai in April 2012. The body of the 24-year-old was dumped in a forest in the neighbouring Raigad district.
The chargesheet 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.
The judicial custody of the three has been extended till December 3.
