Mumbai: Inching ahead in the Sheena Bora murder case, the Mumbai police have asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to probe the financial transactions and business dealings of the Mukerjeas.
Sources say that the ED has deputed a team of officials that will look into the case related documents and try and put the pieces together.
"The documents sent by Mumbai police include some details on the personal finances and transactions of the involved accused and those related to a media company floated by the Mukerjeas, Indrani and Peter, in the past," the ED was quoted saying to the media.
The primary responsibility of the ED is to enforce economic laws and fight economic crimes in the country, which involves the enforcement of two key acts, namely, the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). Sources say that the ED will look into these aspects in the case and carry a parallel probe if required.
The high profile case has taken the Indian media by storm and continues to make headlines as murkier details emerge each day. Indrani Mukerjea, once the toast of media circles, along with her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her driver Shyamvar Rai are the key accused in the murder of Sheena Bora. The trio were arrested on the charge of murdering Indrani’s daughter Sheena in April 2012.
