MUMBAI: Several documents allegedly used by the deceased Sheena Bora to "blackmail" her mother Indrani Mukerjea were today given to CBI by accused Peter Mukherjea's son Rahul, who is seen as an "important link" in the sensational murder case.

Rahul went to the CBI office here and handed over the documents belonging to Sheena, CBI officials said.

Those are the documents with which Sheena was "blackmailing", a CBI source said.

"Rahul Mukerjea is an important link in the murder of Sheena Bora as he has provided several important materials to the investigators against the accused in the case," the source added.

According to investigators, Sheena was blackmailing Indrani that if she did not give her a 3 BHK flat in the city, she would expose her by telling people that she was Indrani's daughter, and not sister, as the latter had claimed.
