Court extends judicial custody of Indrani, Peter & Khanna to Aug 1

A special CBI court, hearing the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, on Monday extended till August 1 the judicial custody of key accused Indrani Mukerjea, her husband and Peter Mukerjea and her former husband Sanjeev Khanna. All the accused were produced before special CBI judge H S Mahajan.

Meanwhile, in its order passed on Saturday on the application filed by Peter, the court named a secret witness and directed the central agency to take care of the witness’ safety and security.

Peter had sought the statement of the secret witness that was submitted to the court by the CBI. In that order, the court also directed the CBI to file copies of the statement of witness to the accused, but also asked it to delete one of the paragraphs before it is given.

The central investigative agency in its supplementary charge sheet filed in February, had submitted a statement of the unnamed witness in a sealed cover.
