Mumbai: In a shocking twist to the case of Indrani Mukherjea’s arrest for the murder of her ‘sister’ in 2012, it emerged on Wednesday that the deceased Sheena Bora was in fact her daughter. Indrani Mukherjea is the wife of former STAR CEO Peter Mukherjea. She was arrested by the Khar Police last night following questioning over her alleged role in the murder of her Sheena Bora in 2012.
Maharashtra’s Raigad Police had found remains of Bora in a forest following which a murder case was registered against unidentified persons. Indrani was produced before the Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate court, which remanded her in police custody till August 31.
“Every time I used to ask my mother where is Sheena, Indrani used to tell me that she was abroad and didn’t want to talk to me,” Mikhail said the channel. According to Mikhail, Indrani had been married to his father (he refused to talk about him) our for about four to five years.
Both Sheena and I were introduced to Peter as brother and sister,” he further told the channel. Meanwhile, Peter Mukherjea told the same channel that he was unaware Mikhail and Sheena were Indrani’s children. I was also told that Sheena was sent to the US for further studies (when she disappeared). I was completely in dark (about the entire matter),” Peter said the channel.
The case being more than two years old where there isn’t any DNA sample of the deceased or appropriate remains of the body, police is only relying on co-accused’s confession,” an officer at the Khar Police Station, who is part of investigation team, said on condition on anonymity, as per PTI.
Indrani’s driver, a co-accused who was picked by the police few days back in connection with the murder, too was arrested yesterday. During interrogation, the driver claimed that Indrani had killed Bora and that he had helped her in disposing of the body by dumping it in the forests of Raigad district, the officer said.
Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria had interrogated Indrani at Khar Police Station yesterday. The officer said they would take the two accused to the crime spot where the body was dumped. The police is, meanwhile, also on the lookout for a third accused in the case.
