'Most of the 40 inmates are asymptomatic. They were shifted to the isolation centre of the prison at Patankar School in Byculla in Central Mumbai as a precautionary measure'
In her application, Mukerjea said that jail authorities were asking her to wear the convict's uniform even though she is an under-trial accused. The next date of hearing on her application is January 5.
CBI Special Prosecutor Bharat B Badami presents the first part of his arguments countering Peter Mukerjea's November 2018 bail plea.
The CBI had registered an FIR in the case on May 15, 2017 alleging irregularities in the FIPB clearance granted to the media group for receiving overseas funds to the tune of Rs 305 crore in 2007 during Chidambaram's tenure as finance minister.
Police on Wednesday brought former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea face to face with his wife Indrani and the two other accused in the Sheena Bora murder case and questioned them extensively.
Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, her husband and former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea, and others who have come under the investigators' scanner in the murky family saga on Friday faced day-long interrogation.
Indrani is in a buoyant and energetic frame of mind these days -- in a full-on Mood Positive. She has a tell-all book titled Unbroken out, that she terms as an 'eet ka jawab kalam se' and appears in media interviews all over the place, when she is not kick-boxing, doing yoga, or travelling, visiting temples, or floating in shikaras on Srinagar's Dal Lake.
D B Corp, the owner of the Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar, is in advanced discussions with broadcaster INX Media to acquire a stake in the company that operates the entertainment channels as well as a majority stake in its English language news channel NewsX. Both companies are promoted by Indrani and Peter Mukerjea, the former Star India CEO.
All along, Rahul, right till today 10 years later, hung onto his gut feeling that something surely had happened to Sheena.
When Sheena got down from his car on the evening of April 24, 2012, Rahul says she told him, "Bye. Love you. See you later."
The calls taped by Rahul Mukerjea indicate that there was an attempt to cover up the Sheena Bora murder case.
Did Sheena Bora board a Jet Airways flight on July 22, 2012, a full three months after her death in April 2012?
I don't think Rahul Mukerjea once referred to Sheena as killed or murdered and always referred to it as her disappearance. It felt like he still used the word 'disappear' because killed had a finality to it that he didn't want to face.
The CBI also told the court that it has sought Interpol's help in seeking access to overseas bank accounts of the Mukerjeas
A local court remanded Indrani and her driver Shyam Rai to judicial custody for two weeks while the other accused Sanjay Khanna was taken to Kolkata for being produced in a court there.
The sensational Sheena Bora murder case has taken yet another turn with the Mumbai police seizing a suitcase that was purportedly meant for packing the body of her brother, Mikhail whom Indrani Mukherjea had allegedly planned to kill, even as key accused Sanjeev Khanna and the driver were taken to spot to re-create the crime scene.
Mukerjea recorded her statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and said she and her husband Peter Mukerjea met Chidambaram at his office in Delhi's North Block.
All the three accused in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case -- Indrani Mukerjea, Sanjeev Khanna and Shyamvar Rai -- will be produced in a court in Mumbai as their police custody ends on Monday.
Peter was flown to Delhi at around 8 pm after the agency secured extension of his custody from a Mumbai court till November 30.
His father, P Chidambaram, said he will return after a few days.
There are too many convoluted wires in this case that need to be straightened out and there are certain questions that need to be answered.
Three suspected associates of Karti --Bhaskar Raman, Ravi Vishwanathan and Mohanan Rakesh -- are also being questioned
"His (Chidambaram) arrest is good news. He is now cornered from all sides," Indrani Mukerjea told reporters in a sessions court where she was produced to attend trial in the case of killing of her daughter Sheena Bora.
The living will do anything to save their lives. The dead can't defend themselves. Will Sheena Bora's good name survive her murder trial?
Indi Media had bought NewsX in January from INX News, reportedly for Rs 50 crore. INX was promoted by ex-Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea and his wife, Indrani Mukerjea, both of whom quit the company with the sale. Indi Media is said to be owned by a clutch of investors led by Vinay Chhajlani, CEO of Webdunia.com India, and promoter of the Hindi daily, Nai Duniya, and by Jehangir S Pocha, former editor of the weekly, Business World.
Former Star TV CEO Peter Mukerjea promoted INX Media and INX News on Wednesday officially announced plans to launch a new television network.
A press release from STAR TV in Hong Kong and Mumbai said the company's senior executives in India, Peter Mukerjea, chief executive officer, STAR Group, India, and Sameer Nair, chief executive officer, STAR Entertainment, India, have resigned.
Constant "blackmailing" of former media executive Indrani Mukerjea by her daughter Sheena Bora and relationship with Rahul Mukerjea were among the reasons for her murder in April 2012, according to a Central Bureau of Investigation official.
Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram's son Karti's name has also cropped up in the case
The report said that NewsX will soon name a replacement for Sanghvi and that the 'separation' came about in an 'atmosphere of goodwill and amicability.'
The conflict in the top management became public last week with both sides accusing each other of mismanagement of the TV business. Sources in the Vir Sanghvi camp said that the investors were unhappy with the performance of the company's entertainment channel and Indrani Mukerjea's interference in the news business.
The proposed company could rope in former CEO of Star TV Peter Mukerjea and Mukesh Ambani.
If the deal goes through, it will be Lachlan's first investment through which he will take on his father Rupert Murdoch directly in the broadcasting space.
With at least 50 new TV channels expected over the next six months, and much of the ad revenue cornered by the top few, a shakeout looks inevitable.
As they were not happy with her relationship with Peter's son Rahul.
Sources say Ambani may be financing a part of the project in his individual capacity rather than through any of his group companies.
Chidambaram had on Wednesday rushed to a trial court for protection from arrest in Aircel-Maxis case before approaching the Delhi high court in connection with the INX Media case, in which he has been asked by probe agencies to join investigations.
After the saas-bahu serials, the idiot box will now witness a deluge of regional channels.
