A special court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to expedite the trial in the Sheena Bora murder case, in which four persons, including her mother Indrani Mukerjea, have been named accused.

The court’s order came after Mukerjea, a prime accused in the case, filed a plea for expediting the trial and conducting it on a day-to-day or weekly basis. Special CBI Judge S P Naik-Nimbalkar had allowed her plea on June 20. The detailed order was made available on Thursday. Mukerjea, in her plea, had stated that the prosecution (CBI) has examined 71 witnesses so far and has submitted a list of 92 more witnesses to be examined in the matter.
