The CBI’s investigations into the high-profile Sheena Bora murder case have revealed that Rahul Mukerjea was also allegedly facing threat from his step mother Indrani which he had conveyed to his father, Peter Mukerjea, through an email sent about a year before the murder of his girlfriend Sheena.

The agency has attached this conversation in its supplementary chargesheet, recently filed in a Mumbai court. Sources said the agency mentioned in the report that Peter knew that his wife Indrani has allegedly issued threats to his son Rahul and her daughter from her first marriage Sheena. Fearing threats, Sheena and Rahul had taken a backup of all the mails, messages, documents for safekeeping, they said.

In the mail dated April 13, 2011, Rahul told Peter, “On several occasions, we have received threats from Indrani. I have protected myself and Sheena by documenting mails, history, conversations and messages included.” He wrote that he had put these for safekeeping and threatened to make them public “should anything happen to either Sheena or me”, the mail alleged. The CBI has alleged that Peter was actively involved in the conspiracy to murder Sheena which was hatched by Indrani, her second husband Sanjiv Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai, all of whom have been arrested by the agency.

Peter was also told by Rahul that he was not sure if the messages coming from his father’s phone were actually sent by him or not. Rahul had accused his father of allegedly using the email accounts of Indrani and Khanna’s daughter Vidhie to send mails to Sheena, it alleged. “Plea-se also remember that you yourselves involved young Vidhie in all of this by using her email account to send emails in the first place and by giving her the phone when Sheena wanted an explanation from Indrani,” he said in the mail.

Rahul had told Peter that Indrani was “bad-mouthing” him and also pressuring a media company where he was trying.

“After all the things your wife has said about me, and all the threats she has made, and after all the attempts she has made to disrupt my progress, telling a load of lies about me and trying to have me thrown out from my flat. Then also pressuring the (media company) people,” he had told Peter in his mail which has been attached by the CBI in the chargesheet. The CBI had mentioned in the supplementary chargesheet that both Peter and Indrani wanted a separation of Rahul and Sheena who were in a relationship. The agency has submitted the chargesheet, running into 500 pages and listing 52 witnesses.
