Powerful India mogul Peter
Mukerjea Peter and wife, Indrani, is accused along with her driver and
ex-husband of strangling Sheena Bora before dumping her body in a forest and
setting it alight.
Peter Mukerjea, a former
chief executive of Star India, has also been charged with abduction,
destruction of evidence and giving false information.
The 22-year-old victim was
Indrani's daughter from a previous marriage.
She was murdered in April
2012 and her remains found a month later in woods in the western state of
Maharashtra, which has Mumbai as its capital.
Indrani was arrested last
August on suspicion of murdering her daughter, who was having an affair with
her present husband's son from a previous marriage.
Among the motives being
considered include a row over property dealings and anger at the relationship
Ms Bora had with Rahul Mukerjea.
India's Central Bureau of
Investigation first arrested Peter Mukerjea in November.
Although he was out of the
country at the time of the murder, he is alleged to have been actively involved
in the conspiracy to kill his stepdaughter.
