The CBI’s custody of Peter Mukerjea was extended till November 30, after officials argued that Sheena Bora’s murder was at the centre of a larger conspiracy involving crores of rupees allegedly embezzled by Peter and his wife, Indrani. The CBI suspects that the money might have been siphoned off to bank accounts under Sheena’s name in Hong Kong and Singapore.
