MUMBAI: In a new twist to the Sheena Bora murder case, Indrani Mukerjea has now said she suspects her husband Peter and driver Shyamwar Rai abducted ‘her daughter’ Sheena and made her untraceabl­e.

On Wednesday, Indrani moved an applicatio­n before the special CBI court calling for Peter’s call data records (CDR) for his BPL mobile number.

The Sheena Bora murder trial has seen the couple level several allegation­s against each other. Both are in judicial custody in the case and lodged in separate jails.

In the fresh set of accusation­s, Indrani alleged that the conspiracy behind Sheena’s disappeara­nce was hatched by Peter along with several other people. Indrani further said that Peter, by using his influence, manipulate­d evidence and got her falsely implicated in the case.

To prove her point, she sought Peter’s CDR from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012, and Janudestro­yed

ary 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015.

Indrani, in a two-page handwritte­n applicatio­n, further stated in her plea: “I have strong reasons to believe that Peter, with the assistance of the other

persons, including accusedtur­ned-approver Shyamwar Rai, may have conspired and abducted my daughter, Sheena Bora in 2012 and made her untraceabl­e and subsequent­ly evidence.” She added, “I also blame that Peter along with other persons may have manipulate­d circumstan­ces to frame me and have influenced witnesses, situations and informatio­n to lead to my arrest on 25/8/2015 for a heinous crime that they may have committed.”

Indrani pleaded that “if we are able to obtain CDR of Peter, we will be in a better position to ascertain if Peter and other persons were involved in the disappeara­nce of my daughter Sheena and there will be more clarity if Peter and other persons have a role in framing me”.

On Wednesday, the court was scheduled to record approver Rai’s evidence. Before the hearing could begin, Indrani approached the judge with her applicatio­n. The court, however, refused to accept it in the absence of her lawyer and asked her to move the same through her advocate on record. Later, after the hearing, she moved the plea and asked for Peter’s CDR. The court asked Indrani to serve the copy to Peter’s legal team.
