Mumbai: The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) on Tuesday registered a case to probe the controversial Sheena Bora murder.
The agency has named the key accused Indrani Mukherjea, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyam Rai in its FIR. A local court had extended the judicial custody of the trio till October 5.
Last week, the Maharashtra government had decided to transfer the case to CBI after days of uncertainty on the supervisory role of former Mumbai police chief Rakesh Maria, who was shunted in the midst of the inquiry that he had helmed proactively.
Indrani, Khanna and Rai have been arrested on the charge of murdering Sheena and disposing of her body in a Raigad forest in April 2012.
The police had exhumed remains of a body from Raigad forest and later claimed that digital superimposition of the profile of Sheena had matched with the skull recovered from the forest.
The police also extensively grilled Indrani's husband Peter Mukerjea, though he is not an accused in the case. Others questioned in connection with the case included Peter's son Rahul Mukerjea and Vidhie, daughter of Indrani and Sanjeev Khanna.
Sheena was allegedly strangled in a car, then her body was burnt and dumped at a forest in Raigad, about 84 kms from Mumbai.
