Sheena case: Indrani schemer, manipulator, says secret witness

November 29, 2016 20:25

Indrani Mukerjea was a "schemer and a lady of dominant nature" who used to interfere in the affairs of a media group through her husband Peter who was the CEO, though not being on payroll, a 'secret witness' in the Sheena Bora murder case has claimed.

Peter was arrested in November last year on the charge of murder conspiracy.

A special court today opened the statement of 'secret witness' Ravina Raj Kohli, former president of Star News, from a sealed cover and handed it over to the defence lawyers.

On November 21, the CBI had told the Bombay High Court that it will give a copy of the secret witness's statement, withheld so far by the agency, to Peter and other accused after deleting a portion of it.

"To my understanding, Indrani is a schemer, manipulator and a lady of dominant nature," Kohli said in a four-page statement recorded on February 10.

Sheena, daughter of Indrani from her previous relationship, was killed in a car on April 24, 2012, and her body was later dumped and set afire in neighbouring Raigad district.
