The CBI on Thursday denied Indrani Mukerjea’s claim in the Sheena Bora murder case.

Significantly, Indrani Mukerjea is accused of killing her daughter Sheena Bora.
Indrani had recently filed an eight-page application in a special CBI court claiming that Sheena Bora was alive. In an application filed through his lawyer Sana Rais Khan, Mukherjee had sought that the CBI and the prosecution be ordered to file counter-affidavits.
In this, Mukherjee claimed that Asha Korke, a former police inspector lodged in Byculla jail in connection with an extortion case, had told him that she had met a woman who looked like Sheena Bora in Srinagar in June 2021.
The probe agency, in its reply last week, said that after a thorough investigation, it has filed one charge sheet and two supplementary charge sheets against Mukherjee, Sanjeev Khanna, Shyamavara Rao and Peter Mukerjea under serious sections of the IPC, including murder.
The CBI also stated that there is no merit in his application. It has been filed with the intention of delaying the trial of the case. The probe agency further said that the accused played a key role in strangling his daughter to death and setting the body on fire.
