Mumbai : The role of former media magnate Indrani Mukerjea’s acquaintance, who once worked for her husband, has come under the scanner of CBI which is probing the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora in 2012.
CBI sources said the residence of the Kolkata-based acquaintance of Indrani, who is believed to be a former employee of her husband Peter Mukerjea, was recently searched by the agency for material to corroborate Indrani’s claims during her questioning.
The sources claimed the acquaintance had not surfaced in the investigations of Mumbai police and the central agency will dig deep into the new link as it could reveal some new facts about the case. They said the suspected involvement of the new lead could open a completely new angle of probe for CBI which is looking at the possible motives behind Sheena’s killing.
Indrani, her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai have been arrested on the charge of murdering Sheena and disposing of her body in a forest in Raigad.
