Mumbai: In an important development in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, prime accused Indrani Mukerjea’s former driver Shyamvar Rai on Wednesday told the special CBI court that he wants to turn approver. Rai further told the court that he saw Sheena being murdered by strangulation as he was present at the scene of the crime.
During the hearing, special CBI judge H.S. Mahajan asked Rai’s lawyer Shrinivas Bhave if he was aware what his client had written to the court and when he replied in the negative, the judge gave him a letter to read.
The judge also asked him if he wanted to say anything regarding the letter. Advocate Bhave, however, said he did not wish to say anything and then the court proceeded further and asked Rai if he had written a letter from jail addressing the court. Rai confirmed that he sent the letter.
On being asked about the case he said, “Mein tha sir jahan par murder hua tha, (I was present at the crime scene).” To another question he also said, “Sheena Bora ko gala daba kar maar dala tha (Sheena Bora was murdered by strangulation).”
