Sheena case: CBI court rejects Peter’s bail plea

A special CBI court on Monday rejected the bail application of former media baron Peter Mukerjea, who has been arrested in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case.“The bail is rejected,” Special Judge HS Mahajan said.

The judge said the bail application was rejected on the basis of certain facts in the case diary, which cannot be disclosed to the defence lawyers.

Peter was arrested on November 19, 2015. His bail plea was rejected in February too, following which he moved another plea before the court in March. His lawyers had sought bail, saying that Peter did not know anything about Sheena’s murder and he was not in the country at that time.

Rahul Mukerjea, Peter’s son from previous marriage, and Sheena were in a relationship. Peter’s lawyers had also argued that he was not against the relationship between Sheena and Rahul.
