While Indrani blamed Khanna for Sheena's murder, Khanna repeatedly said that it was Indrani who dragged him into the crime. He also confessed that post the incident Indrani helped him set up his business. Thereafter, they were in touch with him and she provided financial assistance to him whenever he needed it.
Indrani also confessed to a monetary dispute between them. She said she had transferred a huge amount of money to Sheena's account but when she asked for it, Sheena refused to return it. She also said that Sheena always threatened her by saying she would reveal her true face to husband Peter Mukerjea and ensure that her marriage broke.
