Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea (in pic), founder of 9X media and wife of former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea, was yesterday arrested by the Khar police for her alleged role in her sister's murder. Sources said it was Indrani's driver who gave her away, all these years after her sister's disappearance in 2012.
Cops will now question her about her sister, Sheena Bora, who had gone missing in 2012. According to the police, no missing complaint was filed by Indrani, the former CEO of 9X Media group.
The police learnt of Sheena's murder from Indrani's driver, Shyam Manohar Rai (43), who spilled the beans when he was arrested on August 21 in connection with an illegal arms case. During interrogation, Rai cracked and confessed to several other crimes, including the murder of Sheena.
At first the cops did not believe him, but when they discovered that Sheena had been missing since 2012, they informed the Raigad police. They were shocked to find the remains of a woman at the spot.
Indrani broke down and confessed to the murder. Khar Police did not waste any time and arrested her right then. Officials said that both Indrani and Rai were arrested under Sections 302 (murder), 201 (disappearance of evidence) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC.
DCP (Detection) Dhananjay Kulkarni said, "We cannot comment on anything regarding her detention as the police are still probing the case."
