A special CBI court in Mumbai on Monday made Shyamvar Rai, former driver of key accused Indrani Mukerjea, an approver in the 2012 sensational Sheena Bora murder case.

Special Judge H S Mahajan also granted pardon to Rai, who is currently lodged in Thane Central Jail. The accused had moved an application in the court last month seeking to become an approver and had sought pardon. The CBI, too said they have no objection in making Rai an approver. Today, Judge Mahajan told Rai he will have to speak the truth.
