Sheena murder: CBI requests US, Hong Kong to send info

The CBI, probing the Sheena Bora murder case, has submitted before the trial court its judicial requests to be sent to Singapore, Hong Kong and the US. Sources said judicial requests to these countries will be sent in a day or two.

Sources said, “The agency is trying to trace money trail, a possible motive, in the Sheena Bora murder case in which former media baron Peter Mukerjea and his wife Indrani are prime suspects. This is the reason that CBI decided to send judicial requests to Singapore, Hong Kong and the US.”

Sources said once the court issues LRs, these will be sent to judicial authorities through diplomatic channels with a request to provide the desired information. The agency is investigating money as a possible motive behind the killing of 24-year-old Bora, Indrani’s daughter from her first marriage. The agency had told a special court that Peter and Indrani allegedly siphoned off several crore from their company through a layer of nine companies.
