Rahul submits documents Sheena used to blackmail Indrani

Rahul went to the CBI office in Mumbai and handed over the documents belonging to Sheena, CBI officials said. Those are the documents with which Sheena was “blackmailing”, a CBI source said.

“Rahul Mukerjea is an important link in the murder of Sheena Bora as he has provided several important materials to the investigators against the accused in the case,” the source added. 

According to investigators, Sheena was blackmailing Indrani that if she did not give her a 3 BHK flat in the city, she would expose her by telling people that she was Indrani’s daughter, and not sister, as the latter had claimed. Rahul had earlier on Sunday defended his father, stating that he was innocent. 

“I can’t give reasons at the moment because I don’t want to compromise the case that is being investigated. But, needless to say my father is innocent and I am pretty sure of that,’ Rahul said before meeting his father. Police custody of Peter, who was arrested last Thursday, will end on Monday and the CBI is expected to seek further remand of his, a CBI officer said.

On Friday, Peter was charged with murder and criminal conspiracy by the CBI, which said he had played an active role in the killing.

The other prime accused, Indrani Mukerjea, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and former driver Shyamvar Rai, have been remanded to judicial custody till December 3, police said.
