Indrani Mukerjea and her husband Peter Mukerjea have decided to get officially divorced through mutual consent. Both Indrani and Peter Mukerjea are accused in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case. Sheena Bora was allegedly abducted and murdered back in 2012.
While Mumbai police arrested Indrani Mukerjea and her former husband Peter for the crime, it was the CBI who later on, took over the murder case.

A lawyer, who was present in the family court, confirmed the development and said that the modalities of division of assets will be worked out amicably.
In the last week of April this year, Indrani Mukerjea had sent a legal notice to Peter demanding a divorce and a settlement. However, the matter was put on hold due to some other reasons.
Insiders hinted that the asset details will be worked out on the basis of moveable and immovable assets, finance and personal belongings.
When contacted Advocate Edith Dey, who represents Indrani said, "I have received a reply to the notice that was sent on behalf of Indrani, seeking mutual divorce and now that Peter Mukerjea's lawyer has informed us about his consent too, we will proceed with the assets division."
When asked when the matter would come up for hearing, she said, "We are still in the process of paperwork and it would be a slightly time-consuming exercise as both Indrani and Peter are in jail."
