Peter kidnapped Sheena, framed me, says Indrani
Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the April 2012 Sheena Bora murder case, on Wednesday alleged that she has reasons to believe that her husband former media baron Peter Mukerjea, with the help of accused- turned-approver Shyamvar Rai and other persons, abducted her daughter Sheena and caused her disappearance.
Indrani also alleged that she suspects Peter created circumstances and framed her, leading to her arrest in the case.
She made the allegations in a handwritten application before the court through her lawyer.
Indrani has sought the Call Data Records ( CDR) of Peter’s phone to ascertain if he was in touch with other persons who caused the disappearance of Sheena.
“I have strong reasons to believe that accused number 4, Pratim Mukerjea with the assistance of other persons including accused no 3 turned approver, Shyamvar Pinturam Rai may have conspired and abducted my daughter Sheena Bora in 2012 and made her untraceable and subsequently destroyed evidence,” read the application submitted by Indrani.
Rai is Indrani’s former driver.
As per the prosecution’s case, Sheena was murdered on April 24, 2012. According to the chargesheet, Peter Mukerjea was in London at the time of the incident and Indrani was also in the UK and came to Mumbai a few days before Sheena’s murder.
Pratim alias Peter Mukerjea’s lawyer Shrikant Shivde has refused to comment on this application.
Before hearing on the Sheena murder case could start Indrani went into the witness box and tried to submit a handwritten application in the court.
