CBI files charge sheet against Peter Mukherjea in Sheena murder case

The CBI has filed a charge sheet against former media baron Peter Mukherjea in a Mumbai court in Sheena Bora murder case. The charge sheet says Sheena was killed as her relationship with Rahul was disapproved of by the latter's father Peter Mukerjea and his wife Indrani both of whom were part of the plot to murder her. The agency submitted the charge sheet, running into 500 pages and listing 52 witnesses, before Additional Metropolitan Magistrate R V Adone yesterday.

The CBI said they have mentioned in the charge sheet that the process of separating Sheena and Rahul had started since 2009 and



as they did not budge, the duo (Indrani and Peter) planned to kill her. Peter, whose wife Indrani is the prime accused in the case, was arrested on November 19 for his alleged role in the murder conspiracy. He was in CBI custody for two weeks.

As per the charge sheet, Indrani and Peter had told their friend Pritul Sanghvi that 'this relationship was not correct'. Sheena (24), Indrani's daughter from an earlier relationship, was allegedly strangled in a car by Indrani on April 24, 2012 and her body was burnt before it was dumped in a forest in adjoining Raigad district of Maharashtra.
