A special CBI court here on Monday rejected the bail application of former media baron Peter Mukerjea who has been arrested in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case.
“The bail is rejected,” Special Judge HS Mahajan said while delivering the order in the court.
The judge said that the bail application has been rejected on the basis of certain facts in the case diary which cannot be disclosed to the defence lawyers.
Peter was arrested on November 19, 2015. His bail plea had been rejected once earlier in February this year following which he moved another plea before the court in March.
His lawyers had sought bail saying that Peter did not know anything about the murder of Sheena and he was not in the country at that time.
Rahul Mukerjea, Peter’s son from previous marriage, and Sheena were in a relationship.
Peter’s lawyers had also argued that he was not against the relationship between Sheena and Rahul.
However, CBI had earlier told the court that Indrani and Peter were unhappy with their relationship.
The central probe agency had argued that when Peter came to know that Sheena was Indrani’s daughter, everything changed and it resulted in the murder.
