Earlier this week, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) registered an FIR in the sensational murder case naming Indrani Mukerjea, the victim’s mother, Mukerjea’s ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai. The CBI has taken over the case, and a team of the agency is in Mumbai to reassess the evidence gathered by the Mumbai Police.

25-year-old Sheena was allegedly murdered on 24 April, 2012, and her body was burnt and disposed off in a forest in Raigad district in Maharashtra the next day.
