Peter Mukherjee charged with Sheena Bora murder
Mukerjea has also been accused of attempted murder, kidnapping and criminal conspiracy by the CBI.
He now faces the same charges as his wife Indrani Mukerjea, who was arrested in August, days after the remains of Sheena Bora - her daughter from an earlier relationship - were found in Raigad forest, 80 km from Mumbai.
Sheena was strangled in 2012 allegedly by Indrani Mukerjea, her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyam Rai.
Khanna and Rai are also under arrest.
Peter Mukerjea was arrested after Indrani Mukerjea's conflicting statements reportedly led the CBI to believe that he was aware of the plot to kill his step-daughter.
