Former media baron Peter Mukerjea was part of the conspiracy to kill his foster daughter Sheena Bora, and there was enough evidence against him, the CBI told a Mumbai court on Friday while opposing his bail plea.

Mukerjea, in his bail application last month, had denied involvement in the crime. In its reply filed before special CBI judge J C Jagdale, the CBI said the bail application should be rejected, as Peter was "involved in heinous crime, abduction and murder of Sheena Bora" and there was sufficient evidence to prove the allegation against him.
