Mumbai

“On the basis of record and prosecution’s case two motives can be gathered..one is of relationship between step brother (Rahul) and sister (Sheena) and the other (is) the financial transaction,” observed Magistrate Mahesh R Natu, before whom Peter was produced for extension of his custody. The Magistrate also held that the conduct of the accused persons in the sensational murder case plays a very vital role. “It is pertinent to note that the allegation is of murder of daughter (Sheena) by mother (prime accused Indrani), but the fact was not disclosed for about two and half years. Screening of the offence for about two and half years ago itself shows about the tough mentality of the accused,” the court observed in its order, the copy of which was given to “The additional material that father (Peter) tells son (Rahul) that deceased is alive and that too after her murder shows (his) tough mentality,” the court observed. The court yesterday extended the CBI custody of Peter till November 26.
