November 27, 2018 17:55

Peter Mukerjea, an accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, on Tuesday moved an application before a special CBI court in Mumbai seeking permission to operate his bank locker for handing over ornaments belonging to his wife Indrani according to the consented terms of their divorce petition.

The application was submitted before special court judge J C Jagdale who is trying the case.

Peter and Indrani, who is the prime accused in the 2012 murder case, had filed for divorce in the Bandra family court in September under Hindu Marriage Act.

Sheena was the daughter of Indrani out of her previous relationship.

According to the consent terms executed by Peter and Indrani, they would mutually settle their dispute and exchange articles belonging to each other, stated Peter's petition.

Peter is supposed to hand over articles belonging to Indrani which are currently kept in his locker at a bank in suburban Worli, it stated.

Peter requested the court to direct the jail authorities concerned to make a provision for him to visit the bank and operate his locker, it stated. The Central Bureau of Investigation will file its reply on Peter's petition on November 30, its counsel Bharat Badami said Tuesday.

Peter is currently lodged in the Arthur Road jail in Mumbai.
