The CBI on Thursday opposed the bail plea of Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, saying the court cannot look into the "credibility or reliability" of witnesses at this stage. Indrani had moved the bail plea last month, claiming that the prosecution's case was "inconsistent" and witnesses (examined so for) were not "reliable".

Countering her claims, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) informed special judge J C Jagdale that the court can "only see if there are reasonable grounds" while deciding her bail plea. "It cannot look into the credibility or reliability of the case. At this stage, if the court considers that a witness is not reliable then the entire case would be vitiated," special public prosecutor Manoj Chaladan said.
