'On August 22, 2015, Shyamvar Rai disclosed to you that he had committed the murder of Sheena Bora along with Rahul Mukerjea.' How would Indrani have reacted to this?
Indrani Mukerjea, in pure white, sporting dancing pearl jhumkas, bobbed about the accused box, occasionally floating up front to whisper urgent suggestions to her lawyer Ranjeet Sangle as retired cop and prosecution witness Dinesh Kadam gave her a long look. Vaihayasi Pande Daniel returns to cover the Sheena Bora murder trial after 18 months.
Key witness Vidhie Mukerjea testified in the Sheena Bora murder trial, claiming that Bora was alive after her alleged murder and identifying her voice in a recording.
Sheena Bora's birthday fell on February 11 and it's been 14 years since she disappeared into thin air. She would have been 39. Nearly one-and-a-half decades later are we patiently inching nearer to knowing the truth of what happened?
Indrani laughed loudly. She looked like the cat that got the cream, smiling gaily. Vaihayasi Pande Daniel reports from the Sheena Bora murder trial.
"Charges against him (Peter) are absolutely outrageous," Rahul Mukerjea told ANI with reference to the April 2012 Sheena Bora murder case.
Vidhie Mukerjea, a key witness in the Sheena Bora murder case, denied making a statement to probe agencies, claiming documents in the CBI chargesheet were forged. She also alleged that Rahul and Rabin Mukerjea stole her mother's assets and had a motive to falsely implicate her.
Though Indrani Mukerjea disliked Rahul Mukerjea, she did not have the same attitude towards his brother Rabin, and never restrained her husband, Peter, from talking to him.
According to the witness, Sheena once told her that Indrani administered her wrong medication, and she landed in hospital as a result.
Here are the latest developments in sensational Sheena Bora murder case.
The Bombay high court on Thursday granted bail to former media baron Peter Mukerjea, arrested in the Sheena Bora killing case, observing that prima facie there was no evidence of his involvement in the crime. Justice Nitin Sambre granted bail to Peter Mukrjea on a surety of Rs 2 lakh and directed that he should not contact his children Rahul Mukerjea and Vidhi Mukerjea and other witnesses in the case.
If Indrani Mukerjea wanted to whitewash her image, this docu series was not the right platform, asserts Deepa Gahlot.
Rahul Mukerjea's two-day cross examination in early November left many questions unanswered even as new ones came to the fore in the Sheena Bora Murder Trial, reports Prasanna D Zore.
Rahul told the court about his relationship with Sheena, and narrated the sequence of incidents after he dropped her near suburban Bandra on April 24, 2012, for her meeting with her mother Indrani.
The judge said he went through the case diaries and there were certain facts which he couldn't disclose to the defence. On the basis of those facts, Mukerjea was not granted a bail.
'There is a communication between Rahul Mukerjea and Sheena Bora.' 'First on the 26th. And then on the 27th and then on the 28th.' 'See the messages wherein Rahul Mukerjea tells Sheena Bora "Baba I am in the car park. Come".' 'And Sheena Bora replies to Rahul Mukerjea: "Five min bas".' 'This explains why none of the bodies matched Sheena Bora...'
The release came after the six-week stay on the Bombay high court order granting the former media baron bail in the murder case ended on Thursday with the Central Bureau of Investigation not moving an appeal before the Supreme Court.
The living will do anything to save their lives. The dead can't defend themselves. Will Sheena Bora's good name survive her murder trial?
A yellow-sari daintily clad Indrani was beaming broadly and it seemed like for the first time, for her, Rahul had done something right. Vaihayasi Pande Daniel reports from the Sheena Bora Murder Trial.
In his bail plea, Peter refuted the CBI's contention that he and Indrani hatched the conspiracy to murder Sheena.
The calls taped by Rahul Mukerjea indicate that there was an attempt to cover up the Sheena Bora murder case.
All along, Rahul, right till today 10 years later, hung onto his gut feeling that something surely had happened to Sheena.
While the trial of the Sheena Bora murder case is far from over, the story has seen some bizarre turns and twists so far.
Rahul knew this was coming. That 'dirt' would be dug up.
I don't think Rahul Mukerjea once referred to Sheena as killed or murdered and always referred to it as her disappearance. It felt like he still used the word 'disappear' because killed had a finality to it that he didn't want to face.
Former media baron Peter Mukerjea, husband of prime accused Indrani Mukerjea in the Sheena Bora murder case, was on Friday charged with murder.
'She seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet after telling different people different things.'
Indrani said that one of her inmates in Byculla prison has told her that she had spotted Sheena in Kashmir some time ago.
The night before Sheena was allegedly killed, 'Indrani Madam instructed me to not send anyone up to her flat.' 'She told me to especially not allow Rahul Mukerjea.'
CBI Special Prosecutor Bharat B Badami presents the first part of his arguments countering Peter Mukerjea's November 2018 bail plea.
Sheena Bora wanted to stop pretending as sister of the key accused and her mother, Indrani Mukerjea before her murder in 2012, her fianc Rahul Mukerjea has said in his statement before magistrate.
On Thursday, media magnate Peter Mukerjea was arrested in the Sheena Bora murder case. Here are the top developments in the story.
On the arrest of P Chidambaram, Karti said, "This is like a staged reality show to have all these dramatic visuals on television. There is no reason for this kind of drama... It's not done in an honest investigation.
Did Sheena Bora board a Jet Airways flight on July 22, 2012, a full three months after her death in April 2012?
'It is perhaps kind of easy to see why Peter and the police clash.' 'The obvious air of entitlement that emanates from him, maybe unknowingly, probably gets the goat of the policemen.'
The chargesheet mentions that Peter knew that his wife Indrani allegedly issued threats to his son Rahul and her daughter from her first marriage Sheena.
Indrani is in a buoyant and energetic frame of mind these days -- in a full-on Mood Positive. She has a tell-all book titled Unbroken out, that she terms as an 'eet ka jawab kalam se' and appears in media interviews all over the place, when she is not kick-boxing, doing yoga, or travelling, visiting temples, or floating in shikaras on Srinagar's Dal Lake.
Former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea, husband of accused Indrani Mukerjea in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, underwent a fresh round of questioning on Thursday and is likely to be confronted with his wife.
