Reacting to the statement, Khanna's lawyer, Shreyansh Mithare, said Rai is CBI's "tutored witness".
Getting him on board The nefarious murder plot began to take shape in March 2012 when Indrani allegedly told her assistant, Kajal Sharma, to create a Skype account for Rai.

During one of her Skype chats with Rai, she reportedly told him that she trusted him completely and expected him to keep to himself her plan to kill her children - Sheena and Mikhail.
She also allegedly tried to buy his loyalty by promising to take care of his family's medical expenses and his children's education. She also assured him lifetime employment.

Mum's the word Once she was sure Rai was on board, Indrani allegedly told him the reason why she wanted to kill Sheena and Mikhail.
She claimed that her "reputation" was being sullied with Sheena and Mikhail insisting on calling her "Maa", and Sheena continuing to date Peter's son, Rahul, despite being warned against it. She was also embroiled in a bitter fight over property with her children, said Rai.

To put an end to her 'troubles', Indrani allegedly hatched a plan to bump both her children off.
Spots to dump bodies On March 23, 2012, Indrani told Rai to take her to Lonavla from the old Mumbai-Pune highway.

At Lonavla, Rai bought a 20-litre can on Indrani's orders. The two then went to Khandala. At one spot there, Indrani allegedly got out of the car, looked around and said it was an apt place to dispose of Mikhail's body.
They headed for Khopoli. Indrani told Rai to drive via the Pen road, and halted at two places on the way.
She allegedly finalised a third spot at the jungles of Pen near Raigad to dump Sheena's body and directed Rai to remember all the locations. On the way back, Indrani picked up two bags.
