Mumbai: A special court in Mumbai today asked CBI to file its reply by July 7 on the plea of Peter Mukerjea, former media baron and a co-accused in Sheena Bora murder case, seeking the statement of a secret witness submitted to the court by the central agency.
Special CBI Judge HS Mahajan directed CBI to file its reply by July 7 on Mr Mukerjea's application.
The central agency, in its supplementary chargesheet filed in February, has submitted a statement of an unnamed witness in a sealed cover.
Meanwhile, the court allowed Mr Mukerjea's lawyer to meet him in Central prison at Arthur Road on July 8.
Shyamwar Rai was the first accused to be arrested in the case in August 2015, taking the lid off the murder, after he was picked up in connection with an arms case.
Indrani Mukerjea, Sanjeev Khanna and Shyamwar Rai had allegedly strangled Sheena Bora (24), Ms Mukerjea's daughter from an earlier relationship, inside a car in April 2012.
The trio were arrested in August last year, while Mr Mukerjea was arrested in November. According to CBI, Mr Mukerjea was part of the murder conspiracy.
