Sheena Bora case: Peter’s bail plea rejected

Justice N W Sambre, while rejecting the bail, said he would pass a reasoned order for Thursday. Peter, who was arrested in the case by CBI in November last year, had approached the high court seeking bail after the sessions court rejected the same.

In his bail plea, Peter refuted CBI’s contention that he and Indrani hatched the conspiracy to murder Sheena as they were against her relation with Rahul Mukerjea, Peter’s son from his first marriage.

“Peter only objected to Rahul and Sheena living together without getting married and when jobless. But when he came to know later that they both got engaged, he sent a message to Rahul giving them his blessings,” Ponda argued.

He further claimed that Peter was kept in the dark by Indrani, who claimed that Sheena was alive and had fled from the country.
