Sheena Bora murder case: Peter Mukerjea undergoes lie-detector test

New Delhi: Former media baron Peter Mukerjea underwent a lie-detector test on staurday in connection with the three-year old sensational murder of his step daughter Sheena Bora. CBI sources said several questions about the crime, his conversations with his wife Indrani Mukerjea and his own statements were put to him during the test by CBI officials at the Central Forensic Science Laboratory. They said there were some questions where there were indications of “deception”.

The agency will have to produce Peter before a special court in Mumbai on Monday which has given it his custody. CBI has subjected Mukerjea to intense questioning since 19 November when he was taken into custody which ranged from alleged siphoning off funds from the media house founded by him and Indrani, overseas account of Sheena Bora, relations between family members, missing details of Sheena and his conversations with his son Rahul. The sources claimed that on many accounts his answers were purportedly not convincing and changing which prompted CBI to put him to polygraph test.

The questions related to alleged siphoning off funds from the media house founded by him and Indrani, overseas account of Sheena Bora, relations between family members, missing details of Sheena and his conversations with his son Rahul. They said during his questioning since November 19, the agency confronted Peter with the Income Tax returns filed by him and Indrani to ascertain their various investments in India and abroad. The sources, however, clarified that at this stage it is difficult to nail any one possible motive behind Sheena’s murder and the agency is working on a number of different angles which might have triggered the crime. Sheena (24), Indrani’s daughter from an earlier marriage, was allegedly killed by her mother, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai in April 2012. CBI had told a Mumbai Special court that the “money siphoned off from INX (in which Peter and Indrani were partners) dealings was routed to Sheena’s HSBC account in Singapore.” PTI
