A magistrate's court on Monday extended the CBI custody of Peter Mukherjea, the latest accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, till November 26.
The magistrate extended the remand considering the "tough mentality of the accused' and the progress of the probe.
The CBI said Mr. Mukherjea was not cooperating with the investigation and had not disclosed the relevant aspects of the case.
While he had disclosed details of transactions about investments in FDs in the U.K. and India and some immovable property with his wife Indrani, he did not reveal the source of the money.
Senior counsel Amit Desai representing Mr. Mukherjea said that the investigation agencies — the Mumbai police and the CBI — had interrogated him for nearly three months after the registration of the FIR and therefore, there was no ground for his remand extension
