Sheena case: Peter Mukerjea files another bail application

March 24, 2016 17:30

Media baron Peter Mukerjea, arrested in the Sheena Bora murder case, has filed a second bail plea, contending that the charge sheet doesn't have "reasonable grounds" to hold him guilty.

The special CBI court here had rejected his first bail application in February. Peter's lawyer Kushal Mor filed the second bail application in the special court yesterday.

There was no further justification for keeping him in custody as there were no "reasonable grounds" in the charge sheet to believe that "he has been guilty of offences with which he is charged", it said.

As per the charge sheet, Peter's motive for committing the crime (participating in the conspiracy to murder Sheena) was that he was against the relationship between Sheena and his son Rahul Mukerjea.
