Sheena case: CBI to get Hong Kong bank details soon

CBI is expected to receive information from Interpol on the details of an account opened by Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in Sheena Bora murder case,in a bank in Hong Kong.

CBI informed this in a court here where it produced Indrani’s husband and former media baron Peter Mukerjea and got his custody extended by one more day.

CBI’s counsel Bharat Badami told magistrate R V Adone that the Interpol information on the bank account opened by Indrani in Hong Kong is likely to be received by Monday evening or Tuesday morning.

Seeking extension of Peter’s custody, CBI told the court that it needs to ascertain if he had made any ‘deceptive reply’ during the polygraph test conducted on him on Saturday and Sunday. “The custody (of Peter) is required to ascertain his version on the point of deceptive reply, if any, during the polygraph test and also to ascertain other relevant facts”, CBI said in its remand report.

Peter, 59, husband of Indrani, was arrested on November 19 for his alleged role in the sensational murder case and has been in CBI custody since then.

He was on Friday taken to Delhi by CBI for conducting a polygraph test on him and brought back to Mumbai Monday.

“The custody of the accused is extended till December 1,” metropolitan magistrate R V Adone said.
