In a major development in the murder mystery allegedly involving former Star India CEO Peter Mukherjea's wife Indrani Mukherjea, police on Wednesday detained her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna in Kolkata.
A police team is also at the residence of Indrani's current husband Peter Mukerjea in Mumbai.
Peter on Wednesday said that he was not aware that the deceased woman Sheena was Indrani's daughter and not her sister. "I met Sheena on several occasions. She was staying as a PG in Mumbai and used to visit our place several times. I also helped her in her admission in Xavier's college," he said.
He also claimed that Sheena was in a relationship with their son but Indrani's parents didn't approve of the relationship. "I was told that her parents did not want Sheena and my son to be in a relationship so I was told that she was sent to the US. I was not in touch with here thereafter," he said.
Claiming that he was completely kept in the dark, Peter said that he even dismissed his son's statements when he used to say that Sheena was not in the US. "He used to tell me that she is not in US but I never paid any attention to it. I was shown her pictures saying that they were of her in the US, so I never raised a doubt," he added.
According to sources, during her interrogation, Indrani claimed that Sheena is her own daughter from her previous marriage. However, Sheena was introduced to Mumbai society as Indrani’s sister. Mumbai Police is verifying Indrani's claims.
Indrani was arrested by Mumbai Police on Tuesday night over her alleged role in the murder of Sheena Bora in 2012.
