As Peter Mukerjea was brought to court for the Sheena Bora murder trial yesterday onlookers were surprised to see him give his wife and co-accused Indrani the cold shoulder. After all, the last time they had met was last year, at the Khar police station in August. Husband and wife waited outside for more than two hours, but did not exchange a single word. Even in court, Peter continued to avoid Indrani.

Peter and Indrani meet each other after over six months, but he neither sits with her nor does he glance in her direction throughout the hearing. Illustration/Uday Mohite
