Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused of Sheena Bora murder case files bail plea in special CBI court

Mumbai, Jan 03: Indrani Mukerjea filed a bail application in a special CBI court in Mumbai on Thursday. She is imprisoned for alleged role in her daughter Sheena Bora's murder.

Reportedly, in the bail application, Indrani gave the grounds of merits in the case. In her all earlier bail applications she filed on medical grounds.

In December 2019, the CBI court had rejected a petition filed by Indrani when she sought to bail citing her deteriorating health. It was her fourth bail plea which has been rejected by the court.

Sheena (24), the daughter of prime accused Indrani from her an earlier marriage, was allegedly killed in April 2012. The crime came to light in August 2015 after Indrani's driver Shyamvar Rai, who was arrested in another case, spilled the beans.

In 2015, the alleged murder mystery came into light. Indrani name was revealed to police after her driver, Shyamvar Rai, who was arrested in another case in August the same year, revealed the murder plot.

Police arrested Indrani, Khanna and the driver for the alleged murder of Sheena Bora. And Peter was arrested later for being involved in the murder case. However, Peter and Indrani are now divorced.

The CBI, who took over the murder case, had alleged that financial dispute was the reason behind the murder of Sheena Bora.
