The CBI prosecutor Bharat Badami said that Peter too played a key role in the conspiracy to kill Sheena.

Badami said that Indrani on the day before the murder had spoken to Peter for 686 seconds and had discussed how to execute the plan. The prosecution said that she gave all details to Peter.

The prosecutor went on to say that like the commentary we hear on radio, Indrani passed all information to Peter. “The calls between them were not good night, good morning. But the work done was being reported to him sitting in London,” Badami argued.
