Sheena murder case: Peter to stay in jail; bail plea rejected

February 12, 2016 19:57

The bail plea of former media baron Peter Mukerjea, arrested in the Sheena Bora murder case, was today rejected by a special CBI court which observed that charge sheet was yet to be filed and investigation in the matter was still on.

Since investigation into the case was still on, it's not the right stage to grant bail to Peter, judge H S Mahajan maintained.

The bail plea will be considered once charge sheet is submitted, he added.

Peter, whose wife Indrani Mukerjea is the prime accused in the case, was arrested on November 19 for his alleged role in the murder conspiracy.

The 59-year-old was questioned by CBI for two weeks after which he was remanded in judicial custody and sent to the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai.
