&ldquo;I am just a husband who has been fooled by his wife,&rdquo; said Peter Mukerjea&rsquo;s counsel Aabad Ponda on his behalf, while arguing for his bail in the Bombay High Court.
<a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/sheena-bora-murder-case-cbi-court-rejects-peter-mukerjeas-plea-to-defer-charge-framing/17644165" target="_blank">Peter&rsquo;s bail application was rejected twice earlier</a> by CBI court judge HS Mahajan, after which he decided to approach the HC.
Under her thumb Ponda told Justice Ajay Gadkari, &ldquo;Peter was so afraid of Indrani Mukerjea, his second wife, that even though he wanted to congratulate his son Rahul and Indrani&rsquo;s daughter Sheena for getting engaged in 2011, he didn&rsquo;t do so immediately because Indrani was against it. So, he took his driver Prashant&rsquo;s phone and sent a message to the duo.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Indrani had introduced Sheena as her sister to Peter; she didn&rsquo;t like Peter talking to her, so he even stayed away from her,&rdquo; added Ponda.

Ponda claimed that Peter had been in custody for almost a year now and the only evidence the CBI had against him was circumstantial. Even in the 164 <a href="http://www.mid-day.com/articles/sheena-bora-murder-case-shyamvar-rai-recalls-how-methodically-and-ruthlessly-indrani-mukerjea-executed-her-plan/17394162" target="_blank">confessional statements given by driver Shyamvar Rai</a>, there was no mention of Peter with respect to the day Sheena was killed, he said, adding that Peter was in the UK.
The break-up battle It&rsquo;s the CBI case that once in 2009 Peter separated Rahul and Sheena as Indrani was against the union. Indrani was also afraid that Sheena, after marriage to Rahul, could get a share in Peter&rsquo;s property; hence, Peter reportedly helped her separate them.
However, as per Peter&rsquo;s application, &ldquo;I only told them about Indian values and that staying together before marriage was not allowed in our culture; hence, Rahul should first start earning and then get married.&rdquo;
Ponda also claimed that Peter himself had got several emails from Sheena after her death; according to the CBI, these may have been sent by Indrani. &ldquo;If he knew everything, why was he sent such emails?&rdquo; argued Ponda.
