Indrani writes to Peter for a smooth financial separation

Mumbai: In a four-page letter to her husband Peter Mukerjea, Indrani, the prime accused in the murder of Sheena Bora, has urged him to smoothly execute their financial separation.

Indrani, who is lodged at Byculla jail, wrote, “We are best apart after all that happened, and we will be happier and be still able to wish well for each other even though we are apart.” She gave the letter to her advocate on Monday.

The letter blames her driver Shyamvar Rai, and Rahul, Sheena’s boyfriend and Peter’s son, for lying and giving false statements against her.

“My aim is not just to prove my innocence and be acquitted, but to ensure that whoever has committed the heinous crime or conspired to commit this crime or even suppress this crime or framed me for this, is unmasked and punished. And I will not rest, neither will Sheena or my parents’ soul rest in peace until then.”

On seeking separation from her husband, she said, “It saddens me to accept and come to terms with the fact that you, the man and my husband who I loved the most, is my biggest weakness and not my strength. I, therefore, urge you to cooperate and amicably execute our financial separation at the earliest so it is a load off our shoulders and we are able to handle our finances and assets individually. After that, I would like to limit our communication and interaction to as little as possible unless it concerns Vidhi’s (their daughter) well being.”

She concluded: “I have handed over all the documents to my advocate which can help smoothly execute our financial separation. I am aware that you too have prepared most of the documents for the same as you have shown them to me and my lawyers. But every time you see me, you come up with new conditions even to hand over my personal documents or my personal belongings. That must stop now and separation must happen immediately. I wish to amicably end this without getting into any litigation and I do believe that you want the same. Once the financial separation is smoothly executed, you can let me know if, as, and when you are ready for a formal divorce.”
