Mumbai: A local court here on Tuesday remanded Indrani Mukherjea’s ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna to judicial custody till september 21.
Earlier in the day, Khanna challenged the petition saying that his earlier remand was ‘illegal’. The court will take his petition on Thursday. His lawyers claim that the police custody had ended and he should have been produced in court instead of being taken to Kolkata.
On Monday, DNA report of the body parts found in Raigad matched to that of Indrani's. Former Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria in a statement had said that the DNA report "conclusively proves" that Indrani Mukerjea was the mother of the "deceased Sheena Bora".
Police had also recovered shoes belonging to the accused and jewellery belonging to Sheena as possible evidence and sent body remains purportedly of Sheena - found in a forest in Pen tehsil of neighbouring Raigad district for DNA testing.
Indrani's husband and former Star India CEO Peter Mukherjea was also quizzed on Monday and a team has been formed to investigate properties and financial transactions of the Mukerjeas in India and abroad.
