Sheena and Indrani

Peter Mukerjea claimed that he knew about his son's affair with Sheena but was unaware that she was Indrani's daughter.

Speaking to India Today, Peter Mukerjea said that he'd been out of the country for pretty much the last three years. He also said that he didn't know much about the situation and he hadn't met Indrani since all this began. He also added that his son Rahul believed that Sheena had left for the US without telling him and that the two of them lived together.

 According to CNN-IBN, Sanjeev Khanna, Indrani's first husband has detained by police in Kolkata. Earlier, it was believed that Indrani and her driver had murdered her sister Sheena. However, later reports suggest that Sheena wasn't her sister but her daughter. Mikhail Bora, confirmed that Sheena and him were Indrani's children.

"We met first time in 2005 in Kolkata and she was hesitant to accept me and my sister Sheena as her daughter in front of Peter Mukerjea. She told that I live in a high profile society and it will give her a bad name. So she introduced us as her siblings" Bora told ANI. He claimed that his mother had told him that Sheena had settled in the US and didn't want him to contact her. He added that he didn't pressurise because she threatened to stop her pocket money.

Indrani Mukerjea was on Tuesday arrested by Mumbai Police on charges of murder. Indrani Mukerjea has been taken to Tihar jail by Mumbai Police and will stay in police custody till August 31. She was charged of murdering her daughter and disposing off her body.

During interrogation, the driver claimed that Indrani had killed Bora and that he had helped her in disposing of the body by dumping it in the forests of Raigad district, the officer said. Raigad police had come across remains of an unidentified body, which they had disposed of without collecting DNA samples, the officer said. The officer said they would take the two accused to the crime spot where the body was dumped.
