Sheena murder case: Indrani, driver sent to judicial custody for 14 days

Mumbai, Sep 7: A local court here on Monday sent Indrani Mukerjea and her driver Shyamvar Rai to 14 days' judicial custody in connection with Sheena Bora murder case.

Indrani and Rai were sent to judicial custody by Bandra Metropolitan case after they were produced by Mumbai Police.

Racing against time, Mumbai Police is toiling round-the-clock to gather more evidence and crack the motive behind Sheena Bora's murder. The accused trio -- Indrani Mukerjea, her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai -- were sent to police custody on Saturday till September 7.

Continuing their probe, the investigators on Sunday took Indrani to her home in Worli and a place in Bandra in a bid to recreate the crime sequence and conspiracy hatched over three years ago. Police have alleged that it was on April 24, 2012 evening when Indrani and Khanna had picked up Sheena from a spot near Bandra in the vehicle driven by Rai.

They drove to some quiet bylanes of Bandra where Sheena was allegedly strangulated and the car was later taken to then media tycoon Peter Mukerjea's bungalow garage in Marlow Housing Society in Worli.

Later they took it to an isolated spot near Gagode village in Raigad, burnt and disposed off the body.

Sheena's body was recovered on May 23, 2012, but the lid came off the murder after an anonymous tip-off was received by Mumbai police a few weeks ago.
