CBI arrests Peter Mukerjea in Sheena Bora case

November 19, 2015 20:33

The Central Bureau of Investigation's Special Crime Branch has arrested former Star TV CEO Peter Mukherjea in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case, hours after the agency filed a chargesheet in the case.

The CBI on Thursday filed a chargesheet in a magistrate's court in Mumbai in which Sheena Bora's mother Indrani Mukherjee and two others have been named as accused.

Sheena Bora, 24, was allegedly murdered by her mother, Indrani's former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai here in April 2012 and her body was dumped in a forest in the neighbouring Raigad district.

Soon after the 1000-page chargesheet was filed, the CBI arrested Peter Mukherjea in the case on Thursday evening, the details of which are still awaited.

The probe into the sensational case, which was personally supervised by the then Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria, was later handed over to the CBI by the Maharashtra government considering its various aspects, including the suspected money trail.

Indrani, Khanna and Rai are currently lodged in judicial custody here which is due to expire on Friday.
