Sheena Bora murder case transferred to CBI
"It should not be seen as a murder case only...There may be economic offences in the case," said Maharashtra Home Secretary KP Bakshi.
"We want a detailed investigation into the case....The government wants the investigations to be done without any prejudice and interference by local police or state government officers," he said.
"We have decided to transfer the case to the CBI," he said.
Indrani Mukerjea was arrested on Aug 24 for the murder of Sheena Bora, her daughter from an earlier relationship, in 2012.
Indrani Mukherjea used to present Sheena as her sister hiding their true relationship.
Former CEO of Star India Peter Mukerjea married Indrani in 2002 and set up a media company with her.
Sheena was having a relationship with Rahul, Peter Mukerjea's son from a previous marriage.
She was stated to have been strangled in a car and then her body was burnt and dumped in the forests in Raigad, 84 km from Mumbai.
The remains were found a month later and buried by the local police, which treated the body as unclaimed.
For three years, Indrani Mukherjea told family and friends that Sheena had shifted to the US.
The lid over the murder blew off recently following an anonymous call that made police to crack on the case.
