November 24, 2015 01:34

The Central Bureau of Investigation on Monday told a court that financial transaction was the motive behind Sheena Bora's murder and that her step-father Peter Mukerjea, a former media magnate and one of the four accused, had knowledge of some incriminating documents.

The CBI also submitted that when Indrani, the prime accused and the victim's mother, tried to access Sheena's email account Peter, who has been charged with murder and criminal conspiracy, was present with her.

The submissions were made by the CBI while seeking the extension of Peter's custody by 10 days to probe the financial angle in the sensational case.

The court, however, gave the CBI the custody of Peter, who was arrested on November 19, only till November 26, after observing there was nothing new in the agency's arguments.
