MUMBAI, Feb 5: A Special Central Bureau of Investigation court today granted permission to the agency to question Indrani Mukerjea and two other co-accused in jail premises in the high-profile Sheena Bora murder case of 2012.
The CBI has moved an application seeking permission to question Indrani, her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her driver Shyamvar Rai in the jail. Investigating agencies have received some fresh evidence against them in connection with the murder case.
CBI court Judge H S Mahajan granted permission to question them in jail premises.
The probe agency said in its application “In the course of investigation, certain new facts have emerged from the examination of witnesses and the three accused are required to be re-examined in view of the new information revealed by the witnesses”, Indrani was arrested in the case on August 25, last year, on the basis of information revealed by her driver Rai and thereafter, her ex-husband Khanna was picked up from Kolkata.
They are in the judicial custody. The CBI has already filed the charge sheet against them. Former media icon, Peter Mukerjea, was also arrested on December 19 last year for his alleged involvement in conspiracy to eliminate Sheena. He is also in judicial custody.
Sheena (24), daughter of Indrani from an earlier relationship, was allegedly strangled in a car on April 24, 2012 and then her burnt body was dumped in a forest in Raigad, about 84 kms from here. (UNI)
