Peter Mukerjea, husband of prime accused Indrani Mukerjea in the Sheena Bora case, was yesterday charged with murder. A local court has sent him to CBI custody till Monday. The case took a sensational twist after the CBI told the court that Peter was involved in conspiracy with Indrani. The CBI said Peter was in constant touch with Indrani before, during and after the murder.

After this, one has to wonder what the Mumbai police, which was the original investigating agency had gleaned after so many days of questioning Peter. The CBI is citing very basic things like call details, voice recordings, text messages, etc, which the Mumbai police, too, must have obtained, very early on in its probe.
