The Central Bureau of Investigation plans to put former television executive Peter Mukerjea, who was arrested for the alleged murder of his step-daughter Sheena Bora, through lie-detection tests as he has been giving contradictory statements.
“Peter, who has been brought to the national capital for further interrogation, is not cooperating in the investigations. On several issues, he has been giving evasive replies,” said a CBI official on Tuesday.
While seeking his custody, the agency hinted at a possible financial angle as the motive behind Sheena’s murder. Had she got married to his son Rahul, it would have financial implications for both Peter and Indrani Mukerjea.
In the charge sheet filed against Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamwar Rai, the CBI alleges that after Sheena’s disappearance, Rahul made several efforts to trace her. He grew suspicious as his father Peter and Indrani had been giving contradictory statements on Sheena’s whereabouts.
Interestingly, in the CBI charge sheet, Peter is not in the list of those who were misinformed by Indrani on Sheena’s whereabouts.
