Indrani had earlier maintained that Sheena Bora, murdered in 2012, was her sister
'People wondered aloud why she had given up on the aging, getting-day-by-day-more-infirm avatar. And was freshly blooming.'
In a late night development in the sensational murder of 24-year-old Sheena Bora, police on Wednesday night quizzed former media baron Peter Mukerjea's son Rahul, who reportedly had been in a relationship with the deceased.
He, however, did not name these 'influential and wealthy people'.
Lawyer: 'Did YOU not ever feel scared?' Shyamvar Rai: 'I am a driver, I said okay. Madam said it is your job...'
In the charge sheet, the agency said that prime accused in the high profile murder case, Indrani Mukerjea, was not happy with the love affair of Rahul and Sheena.
This may bolster the CBI's case that after murdering Sheena in April 2012 and disposing of her body, Indrani, her mother, used to send emails or text messages in her name.
A day after gory details of Sheena Bora murder case were revealed by police in court, her biological father on Tuesday came out in the open for the first time while skeletal remains purportedly of the 24-year-old unearthed in Raigad were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory in Mumbai.
Here are the latest updates in the Indrani case after she was rushed to hospital after an alleged over dose in prison
Peter was flown to Delhi at around 8 pm after the agency secured extension of his custody from a Mumbai court till November 30.
Former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea, husband of accused Indrani Mukerjea in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, underwent a fresh round of questioning on Thursday and is likely to be confronted with his wife.
Special Judge H S Mahajan also granted pardon to Rai, who is currently lodged in Thane Central Jail.
Peter Mukerjea's lawyers move court to allow him a heart operation at a private hospital.
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 state government has ordered a probe as to why the police had not filed a first information report or an Accidental Death Report when Sheena's body was first found at a forest in Pen taluka of Maharashtra's Raigad district on May 23, 2012.
Karti and Mukerjea were brought face-to-face and questioned by the CBI team for about four hours.
The statements of the Mukerjeas were recorded by the Enforcement Directorate, which is probing the money laundering angle in the case, while the CBI had only recorded Indrani's statement before a magistrate as per section 164 of the CrPC, they said.
Mumbai Police Commissioner Ahmad Javed on Tuesday sidestepped questions on the high-profile Sheena Bora murder case, which was being personally supervised by his predecessor Rakesh Maria, and instead sought to outline his priorities at his first full-fledged press conference.
It is the first time in last the 10 years that no new CBI chief has been named to succeed an incumbent.
'At any point did you find out why Sheena had not disclosed her true relationship with Indrani?' Rahul: 'Sheena had told me as her grandparents were dependent on Indrani financially (and if she told the truth) her grandparents would suffer.' 'She had slapped Sheena the night before which she was very not happy about.'
"Charges against him (Peter) are absolutely outrageous," Rahul Mukerjea told ANI with reference to the April 2012 Sheena Bora murder case.
The application for narco analysis test assumes significance as the agency yesterday alleged that Karti was not cooperating in the investigation and was 'evasive' in his replies.
Caught in a web of half truths, the Sheena Bora murder case continues to baffle investigators. Here are the top developments of the day.
Taking note of her complaint, a Central Bureau of Investigation court, which is hearing the Sheena murder case, directed the prison authorities to produce Indrani before it on Wednesday.
Indrani looked cheerful and upbeat and announced she had quite recovered from her wounds...
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 lot of what we are hearing about Indrani is coming from our desire to demonise her and deny her humanity, says Shivam Vij.
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.
So concluded a day in court that saw a woman accused of murder don a fresh role of heroine of the moment. Even Bollywood couldn't have come up with such a curious twist.
The Central Bureau of Investigation, which is probing the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, on Saturday told a special court in Mumbai that prime accused Indrani Mukerjea had informed her husband and former media magnate Peter Mukerjea about killing her daughter on April 24, 2012.
After coming out of CBI headquarters in New Delhi, Chidambaram said he had appeared before the CBI and the first information report did not contain any allegations against him.
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.
The court had rejected Indrani's plea for interim bail to visit her hometown Guwahati.
On Tuesday, after spending five days in Mumbai's JJ Hospital, she was discharged and shifted back to Byculla prison.
A day after he was shunted out of the post of Mumbai police commissioner, senior IPS officer Rakesh Maria on Wednesday said he was not contemplating quitting.
'How much fashion she used to do.' 'Now all gone in the water!' 'All good things have to come to an end.' 'And all bad things have come to an end.'
A local court in Mumbai on Thursday allowed the CBI to question afresh Indrani Mukerjea and two other arrested accused in the Sheena Bora murder case.
Indrani is clearly in charge in her little corner. She is speaking rapidly to a not-very-tall, pot-bellied, balding man, whom she repeatedly, decisively, asks, "Have you understood?" The tone is that of a boss talking to an employee. The words "cheque" and "two lakhs" float by.
The attempts to unearth the document started getting more and more frantic. The clerks began to flip pages of files full of documents, some hand written, some bearing thick seals or multiple stamps, some in Hindi, some in Marathi. Several junior lawyers joined in, perusing different files and dockets. But in spite of the best of efforts the document was not to be found.
'Indrani gave a mirthless laugh on spying The Suitcase, from the accused enclosure and, in sign language, gestured the impossibility of anyone fitting in such a small bag.'
