A Mumbai police announcement which made headlines on Tuesday was the arrest of Indrani Mukerjea, the CEO of a media company and wife of well-known TV executive Peter Mukerjea.
She was said to be in connection with the murder of her sister Sheena Bora. The story took a fresh twist the yesterday when the commissioner of Mumbai police, Rakesh Maria, told the media that "Indrani has confessed that Sheena was her daughter".
Media reports added that Ms Mukerjea always "introduced Sheena Bora as her sister in the elite circles of Mumbai and Delhi".
The police say they made the arrest after a confession by Ms Mukerjea's driver, who told them he had helped his employer commit the murder.
A fresh arrest on Wednesday - of one of Ms Mukerjea's previous husbands - has now added to the interest.
Ms Mukerjea and her lawyers are yet to make a statement. The case will now be heard by a Mumbai court. So why did the TV executive hide her daughter's identity for so long?
The police haven't commented on this aspect of the case. But media reports are full of details about her life, career and possible motives for the murder.
"Sheena and her brother, who works in an airline now, were brought up by their maternal grandparents in Guwahati [in north-eastern India]. The children eventually moved to Mumbai and Sheena did her graduation from St Xavier's College there," it added.
