Twist in the case of ex- Star India CEO's wife : Murdered woman her daughter, not sister
43-year-old Indrani was arrested on Tuesday from her Mumbai residence after her driver confessed that he had killed Sheena in 2012 following his employer's orders.
The driver was also arrested by the police.
The case dates back to 2012 when Sheena was murdered and her body was dumped in the forests of Raigad, 84 km from Mumbai. Indrani Mukherjea allegedly helped dispose of the body.
Earlier reports said Sheena was Indrani's sister.
On Tuesday, Indrani, a co-founder of 9X Media, was questioned by a team led by Mumbai police chief Rakesh Maria for hours before her arrest.
Both Indrani and her driver were produced in the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate’s court and the police got their custody till August 31.
Both have been booked under Sections 302 (murder), 363 (kidnapping) and 201 (destroying evidence) of the IPC.
Indrani's driver directed the police to the spot where the remains of Sheena Bora's body were found. The remains have been sent for forensic tests.
In two days of questioning, the driver has reportedly told the police that the two women had a property or financial dispute.
The police say no missing complaint was filed by Indrani when her daughter disappeared.
Indrani and Peter Mukherjea had founded the INX media network but both quit the organisation in 2009.
