"We wanted to question them in the jail and we have got permission," a CBI official said.
In a new twist to the Sheena Bora murder saga, Indrani Mukerjea and her former husband Sanjeev Khanna have blamed each other for the crime during police interrogation.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted a list of 23 witnesses it would not be examining against former media executive Indrani Mukerjea and other accused in connection with the killing of her daughter Sheena Bora.
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.
The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation for its response on the bail plea of former media baron Peter Mukerjea, arrested for his alleged involvement in the murder of his wife Indrani's daughter Sheena Bora.
Indrani's former husband Sanjeev Khanna was also charged with murder.
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.
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.
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.
A special court on Tuesday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to complete its investigation in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case in the next 10 days and also allowed prime accused Indrani Mukerjea's plea to get copies of statement of witnesses recorded before the magistrate.
"Charges against him (Peter) are absolutely outrageous," Rahul Mukerjea told ANI with reference to the April 2012 Sheena Bora murder case.
Sources said Mukerjea was arrested for 'shielding the accused' and 'inconsistencies' in his statements
The main accused in the Sheena Bora murder case has been suffering from dengue for the last seven days.
Former media baron Peter Mukerjea, husband of prime accused Indrani Mukerjea in the Sheena Bora murder case, was on Friday charged with murder.
A metropolitan magistrate court in Mumbai extended the judicial custody of Indrani Mukerjea -- prime accused in Sheena Bora murder case -- and two others till November 7 after their 12-day remand ended on Saturday.
'The Mumbai police should study the bank accounts and flow of money in and out of the accused's bank accounts.'
The chargesheet mentions that Peter knew that his wife Indrani allegedly issued threats to his son Rahul and her daughter from her first marriage Sheena.
Indrani kept Peter informed on phone about the selection of spot for disposing her body and recce conducted for the same.
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.
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.
Rai said he failed to dispose of the gun on two occasions as he developed cold feet. He said he was arrested when he tried to get rid of the gun for third time.
Caught in a web of half truths, the Sheena Bora murder case continues to baffle investigators. Here are the top developments of the day.
It would seem that Indrani's application was not something prepared or maybe even sanctioned by her lawyers and was a courtroom enterprise she had embarked on by herself, perhaps not realising it distracted from the main business of the trial and didn't help her cause.
Peter's lawyer paints Indrani as a master manipulator, looking to waste the court's time and use the media to manipulate public perception about his client. 'She is "trying to exonerate herself," the lawyer argues, and accuses Indrani of "trying to lay a trap" for Peter "and attempting to malign his reputation"...'
