Mumbai: Sanjeev Khanna, Indrani Mukerjea's second husband, told the interrogators on Sunday that he decided to be a part of Sheena's murder after Indrani told him that Sheena and Rahul may kill Vidhie, his daughter.
“Khanna has admitted to his role in the murder and said he along with Indrani strangulated Sheena after she lured him into the act by saying that Sheena and Michail were planning to kill Vidhie (Khanna's daughter from Indrani),” a police source was quoted saying to Times of India.
