Mumbai: Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday informed a Special Court that it is considering challenging the High Court’s order in Supreme Court which held one statement inadmissible in the Sheena Bora murder case. Earlier in the day, the hearing in the case was adjourned till June 22 by one of Mumbai’s Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) courts.
In March this year, the CBI court deferred the trial after the defence protested over the non-appearance of approver and first witness Shyamvar Rai, who was IndraniMukerjea’s former driver. In January, the special CBI court had charged Indrani, her husband Peter Mukerjea and her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna with murder and criminal conspiracy in connection with this case.
The murder, which took place on April 24, 2012, came to light in 2015 with the arrest of Rai, who later turned approver for the CBI.
Indrani, Khanna, and Rai have been accused of strangling 24-year-old Sheena, Indrani’s daughter from a previous relationship-on April 24, 2012. Her burnt body was dumped in a bag in the forests in Raigad district near Mumbai.
