Indrani Mukerjea used modern tools to plan Sheena Bora murder

Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea, had trained her driver and co-accused Shyamwar Rai to use video chat app Skype. This is done so to avoid phone-tapping, the CBI said in its chargesheet.
Indrani asked his secretary Kajal Sharma to open account of Rai on the app, and train Rai to use it. Kajal Sharma has become witness of the case, said the CBI’s Deputy Superintendent of Police K.K. Singh

Mumbai police had first made a reference to the use of Skype by the accused to communicate among themselves and the fact has now been corroborated in the CBI investigation.

Later, after Indrani took Rai into confidence and expressed her plan to eliminate her daughter Sheena and son Mikhail Bora, who survived the bid on his life by poisoning, the duo (Indrani and Rai) used to communicate on Skype to avoid any possible phone-tapping.

Mumbai police also said that the accused used modern tools like email, internet and Skype to plan and execute the gruesome murder, and impersonated Sheena’s email identity, among other things.

Four people have been arrested in connection with Sheena’s killing, including her mother Indrani, Indrani’s ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and Rai. Last week, Indrani’s present husband Peter Mukerjea, the former CEO of Star India, was also arrested.

Sheena was murdered in April 2012 and the case broke out in August this year.
