Former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea, husband of accused Indrani Mukerjea in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, has been called for questioning again today.
He was questioned for nearly 12 hours till late last night in connection with the case.
"We are trying to corroborate his statement with that of Indrani, with whom he co-founded INX Media," a Mumbai Police official said.
Ms Mukerjea was arrested on August 25 for the alleged murder of her daughter Sheena.
Meanwhile, the Forensic Science Laboratory at Kalina here has begun the process of analysing the samples of Ms Mukerjea and skeletal remains found in Raigad district to match the DNA and determine if the body was that of Sheena.
Yesterday, police carried out a search at Mr Mukerjea's flat in Worli and took away some documents and a laptop.
The same set of questions given to Peter was also given to Indrani, who was brought in from the Bandra Police lock-up and made to sit in an adjoining room.
Some of the questions posed to Me Mukerjea pertained to his financial transactions, especially his investments, his share in various companies, and how much money he had given to his wife, son Rahul, step-daughter Sheena, and younger step-daughter Vidhie, who is Ms Mukerjea's daughter from her previous marriage.
