Ex-police commissioner lifts the veil on Sheena Bora murder case

Pratidin Bureau

Former Police Commissioner of Mumbai, Rakesh Maria has made sensational claims in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case. In his memoir 'Let Me Say It Now', Maria claimed that his successor Ahmed Javed knew Sheena Bora's murder case accused Indrani and Peter Mukerjea socially.

"Was there a deliberate attempt to discredit the probe byspreading the falsehood that I knew the Mukerjeas socially? I had categoricallydenied it, but the atmosphere of suspicion persisted," Maria wrote whilementioning about Javed knowing Mukerjeas 'socially'.

Maria investigated high-profile cases like the 1993Mumbai serial blasts and headed probe in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack.

It may be mentioned here that Peter Mukerjea was arrestedon November 19, 2015 in the Sheena Bora murder case, in which his former wifeIndrani Mukerjea is the main accused. Sheena Bora, 24, was Indrani Mukerjea'sdaughter from an earlier relationship. The killing came to light in 2015 whenIndrani Mukerjea's driver Shyamwar Rai, who had helped them dispose of thebody, was arrested in another case. Rai later turned an approver in the case.
