CBI, on Friday opposed Peter Mukherjea's bail application saying that he is one of the main accused in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case and since he is influential, he can tamper evidences related to the case.

Peter's bail application had been rejected once earlier. He was arrested on November 19, 2016. Other arrested accused are Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and her driver Shyamvar Rai.

Indrani, Rai and Khanna allegedly strangled Sheena (24), Indrani's daughter from earlier relationship, inside a car here in April 2012. The crime came to light last August. According to CBI, the crime was linked to financial transactions.
