Mumbai: Peter Mukerjea has told media persons that he had no idea that Sheena Bora was his wife Indrani’s daughter and not sibling. On the other hand, the Mumbai police are also probing to find out if Peter is linked to the murder or conspiracy and questioned him at his Worli residence.
Mr Mukerjea, however, claimed before the media that Indrani had kept him in the dark all this while. Sources said the accused driver Rai was a loyal employee of Peter and Indrani didn’t know him much. The police is likely to question Peter again as they suspect he was aware of the incident and facilitated it.
Speaking to the press Mr Mukerjea said, “I met Sheena on several occasions. She was staying as a paying guest in Mumbai and used to visit our place several times. I also helped her to get admission in St Xavier’s College. I was told by Indrani that Sheena and Mikhail are her younger siblings.”
Mr Mukerjea also revealed that his son Rahul and Sheena were in a relationship and Indrani was not in favour of it. “Indrani said that her parents did not want them to be in a relationship so Sheena was being sent to the US. I was not in touch with her thereafter,” he said.
Mr Mukerjea’s son Rahul had also informed him that Sheena is not in the United States as claimed by Indrani. It has also been learnt that Rahul had gone to the police back then in 2012, but the police did not confirm the same.
“Rahul used to tell me that she is not in US but I never paid any attention. I was shown her pictures saying that they were of her in the US, so I never doubted it,” he said.
Mr Mukerjea said that he had not met Indrani’s parents since their marriage in 2002. As Peter is 15 years older to Indrani, he felt her parents would not approve of him. He said that just one person had been present for their wedding from Indrani’s family. He also said that Indrani was not interested in speaking about her past and so he never asked her.
