As per reports, Sheena was expecting before allegedly being killed by her mother Indrani Mukherjea.
After the arrest of three people Indrani Mukherjea, her driver Shyam Rai and her former (second) husband Sanjeev Khanna in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case the Mumbai Police are probing the honour killing angle in this case. Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria is personally involved in the investigation being conducted by Khar police in suburban Mumbai. He had earlier questioned accused Indrani Mukerjea, mother of Sheena. According to Maria, the victim was strangulated to death and her body set afire after pouring petrol. The murder took place on April 24, 2012, and the body was found by Raigad police on May 23, he said.
“Although the motive behind the murder still remains a mystery, we are probing all the angles as we strongly suspect honour killing in this case,” said a police inspector.
Sheena is stated to be Indrani’s daughter from an earlier marriage with one Siddharth Das. Police also claimed that Indrani, 43, was present at the site in Raigad district where the victim was killed.
As per reports Sheena was expecting before allegedly being killed by her mother Indrani Mukherjea. Sheena had shared this information with Indrani. She wanted to give birth to this child. Sheena also had informed Indrani that she would not only keep the baby but also the money which was a huge, unaccounted for sum that had been parked in a foreign bank in the former’s name.
Media baron Peter Mukerjea’s son Rahul Mukerjea was questioned by Mumbai Police for a second time within 12 hours to unravel the complex web of linkages in the Sheena Bora murder case as he was in a relationship with the deceased.
According to police officials, Rahul was yesterday again grilled about his ‘relationship’ with Sheena and also over the reasons for not pursuing the missing complaint about her.
Rahul was also taken to two flats in suburban Bandra and Khar where he had allegedly spent some time with Sheena when they were seeing each other, they said.
Rahul and Sheena were said to have been dating for over a year, which Mukerjea’s wife and the main accused, Indrani, did not like.
“When Sheena had taken leave of absence on April 24 and was murdered on the same day, then this is very much clear that her resignation letter or email was sent by someone else,” said a police officer requesting anonymity.
“We would be inquiring with Reliance Metro officials over what reasons were cited in her resignation and did she resign through email or by sending hard copy letter. Did MMOPL officials try to verify the resignation letter and contact Sheena’s next of kin to know about her resignation?
Sheena was kidnapped from outside the National College in western suburbs of Mumbai. She came here from Assam in 1990s along with Indrani and completed BA Economics from St Xavier’s College.
In June 2011, she got a job with Reliance Mumbai Metro but suddenly stopped coming to duty after some time, police said. In the same year, her Facebook account was deactivated.
Peter said he would cooperate with investigators in the probe. “I have never experienced anything like this before. The news I am getting, the kind of crime that has been committed, I would have never expected.”
