Sheena Bora murder case: Cops ask ED to probe Mukerjeas Financial transactions

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) received a letter from the Khar police requesting to probe suspicious financial transaction in the Sheena Bora murder case.

Police suspect that the financial dispute could be the motive behind the killing. The ED official stated that they are examining the case details and will decide if they have any role to play. The ED can probe only the money laundering aspect in the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act or illegal foreign exchange where payments are made/received by a person outside India under the Foreign Exchange Management Act.

Police questioned Peter Mukerjea and asked a team consisting auditors, chartered accountants and Economic Offences Wing officials to examine his accounts. Official stated that probing Peter’s finances is crucial to the case to know if money was the motive behind the murder. The team is probing Mukherea’s firms, bank statements, investments and parking of proceeds from the sale of INX Media in various accounts. Cops are probing the allegation that Peter and Indrani had parked large amounts of money into Sheena’s account after they sold their shares in INX Media. Police have also learnt that Indrani had transferred a huge amount into the accounts of Sanjeev Khanna, Indrani’s former husband and one of the accused in the case. Cops suspect these transactions could be illegal and have asked the ED to probe them.
