CRIME// The grisly high-society murder case that has gripped India took an unexpected twist recently as a British-born media tycoon appeared in a Mumbai court over the killing of his stepdaughter.

He has been booked under IPC Section 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender). Following this, Mukerjea becomes the fourth person to be held over the death of 24-year-old Bora. He had not previously been accused of any wrongdoing in the case, in which his wife Indrani, her exhusband, and her former driver are accused of strangling Bora, burning her body and burying the remains in a forest outside Mumbai in April 2012.
