‘What if Sheena Bora’s vanished, why fuss,’ Peter Mukerjea told Rahul
MUMBAI: A year after Indrani Mukerjea’s arrest in the Sheena Bora murder case,phone conversations between Rahul and his father Peter Mukerjea, also an accused, and his stepmother, Indrani, appears to place Mukerjea in a corner.
The CBI had relied on seven out of 20 transcripts in the chargesheet. Now it has given the remaining 13 to the accused. In one of the conversations, Peter tells Rahul: “What if she (Sheena) has disappeared, why are you making all this fuss”.
This is a considerably damning conversation. The conversations were recorded by Rahul.
TOI had reported significant sections of the transcripts that was earlier submitted by the CBI in its chargesheet. The tapes show how Peter is pacifying Rahul after Sheena “left” him.
CDs of the conversations, handed over by CBI on a plea made by Indrani in court, has Rahul on one end of the phone and Indrani, Peter on the other, mostly together.
The CBI chargesheet had said that in one of the conversations Peter told Rahul that he had spoken to Sheena when Indrani handed him the phone and that she was fine in the US. Peter’s lawyers had argued that Peter thought it was Sheena since the person had said “hi jiju”. His lawyers argued that he had believed Indrani, when she said it was Sheena.
