The Sheena Bora murder case on Wednesday took a new turn with former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea, husband of accused Indrani, saying that he was not aware that the deceased was her daughter and not her sister. Indrani was arrested by Khar Police on Tuesday night over her alleged role in the murder of Sheena Bora in 2012. Peter said that though he was in shock, he would cooperate with investigators in the probe.
Indrani's driver, a co-accused who was picked by police few days back in connection with the murder, too, was arrested on Tuesday. During interrogation, the driver claimed that Indrani had killed Bora and that he had helped her in disposing of the body by dumping it in the forests of Raigad district, an officer at Khar police station, who is part of the investigation team, said on condition of anonymity.
Meanwhile, Indrani was produced before Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate court, which remanded her in police custody till August 31, DCP (Detection) Dhananjay Kulkarni said today.
Maharashtra's Raigad police had found remains of Bora in a forest following which a murder case was registered against unidentified persons.
"The case being more than two years old, where there isn't any DNA sample of the deceased or appropriate remains of the body, police are only relying on co-accused's statement," the officer said.
Raigad police had come across an unidentified body, which they had disposed of without collecting DNA samples, he said. Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria had interrogated Indrani at Khar police station yesterday.
The officer said they would take the two accused to the spot where the body was dumped.
