New Delhi: The CBI on Saturday conducted polygraph test on former media tycoon Peter Mukerjea in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case.
A special court on Friday gave its nod to the CBI to conduct the test on Peter, which reportedly performed at the CBI headquarters in New Delhi.
Peter was arrested on November 19, 2015 from his Worli residence in Mumbai and has been in CBI custody since then. On Thursday, a Mumbai court extended the CBI custody of Peter till November 30.
Sources said, CBI - through polygraph test - wanted Peter to reveal his financial transaction and also whether he was aware of Sheena's (daughter of his wife Indrani Mukerjea) murder or not. Among many possibilities, CBI sleuths zeroed in on financial matters as the motive behind Sheena's killing.
However, Peter's lawyer Mihir Gheewala claimed that he always maintained that he became the victim of his wife's (Indrani) devious methods.
However, CBI demanded Peter's custody claiming that they have to collect more information as they have documents justifying that huge money has been routed to Sheena from Peter's company.
The agency claimed that there is huge siphoning off of money from the 9X investment. "This money may have gone to Singapore and other places. They promoted several companies from 2006-07 and investments were made via Singapore accounts. It was also found that bank accounts were opened by Indrani's friend Gayatri Ahuja in Singapore and some of the account seems to be in Sheena's name," CBI said.
"Total financial transactions are running into Rs 900 crores and we have issued notice to Interpol seeking access to the HSBC bank accounts," the agency had claimed.
