Peter Mukerjea was against Sheena’s affair with Rahul: CBI
The CBI told the Bombay high court on Tuesday that Peter Mukerjea was guilty along with the other accused of conspiring to murder Sheena Bora and, therefore, his bail application should be rejected.
The CBI told the Bombay high court on Tuesday that Peter Mukerjea was guilty along with the other accused of conspiring to murder Sheena Bora and, therefore, his bail application should be rejected.
Both Peter and Indrani Mukerjea were unhappy about the love affair between Sheena and Rahul Mukerjea and that's why he participated in the conspiracy to murder Sheen, the CBI said in an affidavit.
After a sessions court rejected his bail plea, Peter has moved a bail application in the HC saying he could not be kept indefinitely in jail merely for the purposes of investigation. In the last hearing, the HC had asked the CBI to file a reply against Mukerjea's application.
Striking down Peter's earlier claims that he had no problem with the relationship shared between Rahul, his son, and Sheena, the CBI said: “Peter was not happy with the love affair. In 2009, both Peter and Indrani, with the help of a friend, separated Rahul and Sheena.”
To corroborate this claim, the CBI is relying on an email sent by Rahul to Peter on May 28, 2012, in which Rahul mentions that Peter separated him and Sheena.
“Peter Mukerjea had even told his friend that the relation between Rahul and Sheena was not 'correct'. It clearly reflects that both Peter and Indrani were not happy with the relationship and tried to separate them. When their efforts to do so did not work, they hatched the conspiracy to murder Sheena,” the CBI said. The court has posted the plea for hearing on July 27.
