Sheena case: CBI to send LRs to three countries

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will send judicial requests to Singapore, Hong Kong and the USA to trace money trail, a possible motive, in the Sheena Bora murder case, in which former media baron Peter Mukerjea and his wife Indrani are the main suspects.

Sources said the CBI on Wednesday approached a special court in Mumbai with an application to issue Letters Rogatory (LRs) in connection with the murder case.

They said once the court issues LRs, these will be sent to judicial authorities, through diplomatic channels, of Singapore, Hong Kong and the USA with a request to provide desired information.

The CBI is investigating money as possible motive behind killing of 24-year-old Bora, Indrani’s daughter from her first marriage.
