Mumbai: Immediately after Sheena Bora’s murder and subsequent disposal of her body on April 24, 2012, key accused Indrani Mukerjea allegedly threatened her then driver Shyamvar Rai, who has now turned approver, saying “it won’t be good” for him if he disclosed the incident.
In his confessional statement, which was unsealed by the special CBI court on Friday following a Bombay High Court directive on Thursday, Rai has submitted that Indrani had ‘implicated’ him in an arms case by planting a gun on him soon after Sheena’s murder.
The petition seeking copy of Rai’s confessional statement was filed by Indrani’s former husband Sanjeev Khanna through his lawyer Shreyansh Mithare.
“Kisi se kuch kahna nahi, nahi to tumhara bhi thik nahi hoga. (Don’t tell anything to anybody (about the murder) or else it won’t be good for you,” Rai stated quoting Indrani.
Rai’s arrest by Khar police here under Arms Act in August 2015 had blown the lid off the murder. The trial court recently allowed him to turn approver in the murder case and become a prosecution witness. According to prosecution, 24-year-old Sheena was murdered on April 24, 2012. The crime is allegedly linked to certain financial dealings.
