Mumbai:
A Mumbai court on Wednesday allowed CBI to question media magnate Indrani Mukerjea, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai, all accused in the murder of Sheena Bora – daughter of Indrani Mukherjea.
This comes almost a month after the Maharashtra government transferred the murder case to the CBI after much dithering on the supervisory role of then Mumbai police chief Rakesh Maria, who was heading the probe before he was suddenly shunted out.
The Metropolitan Magistrate court had reserved till today its order on CBI’s plea to quiz the three accused in jail.
The court said that CBI can interrogate the trio till October 19 (the day when their judicial custody ends) and if the probe agency feels the need for further questioning then it may move a fresh application on that day, he said.
