Sheena Bora case: Peter Mukerjea undergoes lie-detector test

Former media tycoon Peter Mukerjea, one of the four accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, on Saturday underwent a lie-detector test here in the presence of experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CSFL).

CBI sources said Peter was questioned over the income tax returns filed by him and Indrani to ascertain their various investments in India and overseas.

The sources claimed that on many accounts his answers were purportedly not convincing and changing which prompted CBI to put him to polygraph test. They said whether Mukerjea was deceptive or not can only be ascertained after the agency receives a complete report from the CFSL. The agency will have to produce Peter before a special court in Mumbai on Monday which has given it his custody.

Noteworthy, in accordance to investigations by Mumbai police and CBI, Indrani Mukerjea had used medicine on no less than three ocsasions – When Sheena was closely sedated in 2009 in Delhi, the day Sheena was murdered, she was provided a spiked drink and when Mikhail Bora was drugged on April 24, 2012.

Sheena (24) was allegedly killed by Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai in April 2012.

In the statement of Indrani Mukherjea’s PA Kajal Sharma, accessed by CNN-IBN, she has claimed that Indrani instructed her to cancel Sheena Bora’s rent agreement and forge her signature before sending her courier letter to the company where she worked.

Among other things, the CBI contends that Peter was aware of the killing of Sheena, the daughter of his wife Indrani Mukerjea.
