'With folded hands, on humanitarian grounds, if she can get temporary bail on medical grounds so she can get treatment.' 'If she dies, the whole trial gets derailed.'
Lawyer: 'Did YOU not ever feel scared?' Shyamvar Rai: 'I am a driver, I said okay. Madam said it is your job...'
A Metropolitan Magistrate court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Indrani Mukerjea -- prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case -- and two others till November 20 after their week-long remand ended on Saturday.
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.
The court had rejected Indrani's plea for interim bail to visit her hometown Guwahati.
It might have been the season of Basant Panchami, but for Pasbola it was definitely Halloween as he set about scaring the wits out of Rangwala, his tone growing harsher.
Karti and Mukerjea were brought face-to-face and questioned by the CBI team for about four hours.
There are many who don't mind leaving more than claw marks on people around them in their march to the top.
CBI sources said that agency teams swooped down at the residences of Peter and Indrani, two each in Mumbai and Goa, Indrani's ancestral home in Guwahati, her driver Shyamvar Pinturam Rai's houses in Mumbai and Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, and the residence of Sanjeev Khanna in Kolkata.
Mukerjea regained consciousness on Sunday and was "out of danger" as she responded to the treatment.
In the notice, she sought a divorce on the grounds that their marriage had "irretrievably broken down".
Her corporate footprint is fading fast.
Indrani's former husband Sanjeev Khanna was also charged with murder.
The Sheena Bora murder mystery has seen more twists than a television sitcom. As skeletons continue to tumble out, here are the latest developments in the case.
The CBI also told the court that it has sought Interpol's help in seeking access to overseas bank accounts of the Mukerjeas
The CPI-M leader was fluent in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bangla, and also Malayalam. He was also well-versed in Hindu mythology, and often used those references in his speeches especially to attack the BJP.
Mukerjea, who was admitted in the state-run J J Hospital for the treatment of suspected drug overdose has been brought back to the jail, Inspector General (prisons) Rajvardhan Sinha said.
In a U-turn, former Star India CEO Peter Mukherjea on Thursday said deceased Sheena Bora had informed him that she was his step-daughter but he had no reasons not to believe his wife Indrani's denial of that claim though he found it "difficult to digest".
Indrani Mukerjea was the founder and chief executive officer while Peter Mukerjea was chairman and chief strategy officer. They set up INX Media three years ago after Mukerjea resigned as Star India CEO. According to a press release issued by the company, they will continue to be shareholders in the broadcasting company.
Ever since Indrani's bail plea was denied by the judge her security has been stepped up. The message was clear. If she felt that unsafe she could get all the security she needed. But in jail she stayed.
Rai had moved an application in the court last month seeking to become an approver and sought pardon. CBI, too, said that they have no objection to making Rai an approver.
Dressed in pink, her hands flying about in eloquent gestures, excitement on her face, Indrani made quite a picture. There was pin-drop silence as she made strong points about why nothing in the hearings had uncovered anything against her. She spoke about there being "Not a shred of evidence... No scientific evidence because it didn't happen!"
According to hospital sources, Indrani's counsel Gunjan Mangla met JJ Hospital Dean Dr TP Lahane, who apprised her about the condition of 43-year-old Indrani.
As the weeks go by in this trial, it has emerged that Shyamvar Rai is that rare species of driver whose knowledge of distances, directions and routes surprisingly would not even fill the back of a postage stamp.
'I'm not withdrawing any allegations. I want those CDRs (Peter's call data records).' 'Those are my feelings.'
"We wanted to question them in the jail and we have got permission," a CBI official said.
Taken aback by the turn of events following the arrest of his wife Indrani in connection with the murder of Sheena Bora, former Star TV CEO Peter Mukerjea on Wednesday distanced himself from the case.
On Tuesday, after spending five days in Mumbai's JJ Hospital, she was discharged and shifted back to Byculla prison.
The Sheena Bora murder mystery has seen more twists than a television sitcom. As skeletons continue to tumble out, here are the latest developments in the case.
Police custody of the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case -- Indrani Mukerjea, Sanjeev Khanna and Shyamvar Rai -- was on Saturday extended till September seven by a local court.
Special Judge H S Mahajan also granted pardon to Rai, who is currently lodged in Thane Central Jail.
Friends and acquaintances speculate what may have led Sanjeev Khanna to help Indrani Mukherjea allegedly commit a crime.
The wills and some of the emails which are a part of the charge sheet stated that Indrani had bequeathed around 20 properties to Vidhie.
'A man, probably a lawyer, in black trousers and a white shirt, next to me, was talking to a woman in white.' 'My stock-taking stopped frozen in its tracks.' 'I was sitting almost right next to Indrani Mukerjea.'
"The next 48 hours will be critical for her," J J Hospital Dean Dr T P Lahane told reporters on Saturday when asked if she is out of danger.
'Indrani said she had some things to discuss with Peter, which he digested with minor surprise.' 'He looked mildly dismayed. And refused to sit down next to her, in spite of her welcome.' In spite of months of wariness from Peter's side, the ice was broken.
Indrani is the prime accused in the murder of her daughter Sheena and the case is being investigated by the CBI at present.

On May 11, Shyamvar Rai had sought to turn approver, saying he wants to "disclose all truths" as he had taken part in Sheena's killing by strangulation and was present at the time of the murder in 2012.
Shyamvar Rai had written a two-page letter to the court stating that he wants to reveal the truth and had sought pardon in the case.
