MUMBAI, Nov 30 - The CBI is expected to receive information from Interpol on the details of an account opened by Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in Sheena Bora murder case, in a bank in Hong Kong.

The CBI informed this in a court here where it produced Indrani�s husband and former media baron Peter Mukerjea and got his custody extended by one more day.

The CBI�s counsel Bharat Badami told magistrate RV Adone that the Interpol information on the bank account opened by Indrani in Hong Kong is likely to be received by this evening or tomorrow morning.
