The bail plea of Indr Mukerjea who is imprisoned for her alleged role in her daughter Sheena Bora's murder, was rejected by a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Mumbai on Thursday.
In December last year, the CBI court had rejected a petition filed by Indr, who was seeking bail citing deteriorating health. It was her fourth bail plea which has been rejected by the court.
In 2012, Indr along with Peter Mukerjea and former husband Sanjeev Khanna had allegedly murdered Sheena over a financial dispute. The alleged crime was uncovered three years later in 2015.
Indr came to the notice of police after her driver, Shyamvar Rai, who was arrested in another case in August 2015, revealed the murder plot.
The police then arrested Indr, Khanna and the driver for the alleged murder. Peter was put behind bars later for allegedly being involved in the murder. Peter and Indr are now divorced.
