CBI arrests Peter Mukerjea in Sheena Bora murder case
New Delhi, Nov 19 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday evening arrested media tycoon Peter Mukerjea in connection with the murder case of Sheena Bora, in which his wife Indrani Mukerjea is accused.
Indrani Mukerjea was arrested two months ago and has been in a Mumbai jail since Sept 7.
However, the agency reportedly said that there have been conflicting statements made by Peter and Indrani.
In order to get facts straight, Peter has been arrested.
A central forensic team had earlier confirmed that the remains found in a forest near Mumbai are of Sheena Bora who was murdered allegedly by her mother Indrani Mukerjea and two others.
Tests had also confirmed that the 24-year-old was strangled.
The remains were found in the Raigad forest, 80 km from Mumbai in August leading to the arrest of Indrani and two others.
The Mumbai police had in September said DNA tests proved that the remains, a skull and bone pieces, were of Bora.
The case had since been handed over to the CBI, which asked for forensic tests by AIIMS or the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi.
