The CBI, in its reply, has stated that Indrani revealed to the investigating agency that Peter was aware of the murder after the incident had occurred. Various account books and documents seized from Peter are under scrutiny, they said. The reply states that Peter was concealing Sheena’s death from his son Rahul, and hence was part of the conspiracy.

Peter’s bail application will be argued on January 30, as will the CBI's reply regarding the bail application of Indrani's former husband and co-accused Sanjeev Khanna. The judicial custody of Indrani, Khanna and Rai had been earlier extended to January 30.
