Former media magnate Peter Mukerjea, who was arrested on Thursday in connection with the sensational Sheena Bora murder case for allegedly 'shielding the accused' has been charged with murder.

According to reports, Mukerjea has also been accused of attempted murder, kidnapping and criminal conspiracy by the CBI

"Peter Mukerjea booked under sections in original FIR 302, 120 B, 306, 201, and 363 of the IPC. Proceedings yet to begin," reports ANI.

Peter Mukerjea's wife Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai were produced before the court, which extended their judicial custody till December 3.

Mukerjea was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), hours after it filed a chargesheet in which Indrani, the mother of the victim born from her first marriage, and two others were accused of the crime.

Sheena Bora was allegedly murdered by her mother, Indrani's former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai in Mumbai in April 2012. The body of the 24-year-old was dumped in a forest in the neighbouring Raigad district.

The chargesheet, filed three months after Sheena Bora's remains were found in a forest near Mumbai, names Indrani, Khanna and Rai as accused--who were all arrested in August this year.

The agency has charged them with criminal conspiracy to kidnap, murder, cheating, destruction of evidence, forgery and use of forged documents besides violation of provisions of Information Technology Act.
