What happened
A timeline of the sensational Sheena Bora murder case
Indrani was arrested in August'15 for allegedly murdering Sheena in 2012, taking help from ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai, who later deposed in court and flashed everything about the sensational case. Her third husband ex-media tycoon Peter Mukerjea was allegedly part of that conspiracy too and was subsequently arrested. The case was being handled by Mumbai Police, but was later transferred to CBI.
