Mumbai: In a new twist to the Sheena Bora murder saga, Indrani Mukerjea and her former husband Sanjiv Khanna have blamed each other for the crime during police interrogation.
Indrani, her driver Shyam Rai and Khanna were interrogated at Khar Police Station on saturday. During the course of the grilling, they blamed each other for the crime, a police official said.
Police said Khanna and Indrani were giving evasive replies during interrogation.
There were reports that Indrani had sought help of a psychiatrist to get Mikhail labelled as a mental patient, but there was no independent confirmation from police so far.
As the investigation focused on forensic examination of the skeletal remains found in Pen tehsil of Raigad, the police also admitted that no due procedure was followed when the body was first found on May 23, 2012.
Raigad police virtually confessed to the casual way in which they treated the case when a burnt body was spotted, a month after Sheena was believed to have been murdered.
“Neither a crime, nor a report was registered when Raigad police sent recovered skeletal remains to JJ hospital in 2012,” Raigad’s SP Suvez Haque said.
“I have been ordered to probe all the wrongs or lapses that were committed,” said Mr Haque who took charge early this year.
