Sheena Bora murder case, Driver became approver reveals key points

Indrani Mukerjea's former driver Shyamwar Rai told a Mumbai court on Tuesday that the ex-media tycoon had called her husband, Peter, from the spot where her daughter Sheena Bora's body was eventually dumped.

Rai alleged Indrani drove to a forested area in Pen in Raigad, 60km from Mumbai, on April 23, 2012, a day before Bora's murder, to check the spot where the body was to be disposed of. Rai, who has confessed to his role in the murder, has turned approver.

"Indrani spoke to Peter twice, once at the spot and once before that," he told court. She told him "good work", a reference to the choice of spot.

Rai made the claims during his cross-examination by Peter's lawyer Shrikant Shivde, who is questioning him on his statements to police and the CBI in the sensational murder.

The CBI, which took over the probe from police, has said Peter and Indrani were equal partners in the conspiracy to eliminate Bora as they were against her relationship with Peter's son, Rahul.

Bora, 25, was allegedly strangulated by Indrani, with the help of her second husband, Sanjeev Khanna, and Rai on April 24, 2012. Bora was her daughter from her first marriage and was in love with peter's son, Rahul.
