Indrani Mukherjea arrested for sister's murder in 2012

The murder mystery allegedly involving former Star India CEO Peter Mukherjea's wife Indrani Mukherjea is getting murkier. While there were earlier reports that she was accused of her role in the murder of her sister, Mumbai Police has confirmed that the victim Sheena Bora was not her sister but her daughter.

According to sources, during her interrogation, Indrani claimed that Sheena is her own daughter from her previous marriage. However, reports claim that Sheena was introduced to Mumbai society as Indrani’s sister. Mumbai Police is verifying Indrani's claims.

Claiming that he is sure that Sheena was killed, Sheena's brother Mikhail Bora confirmed that both he and Sheena are Indrani's children. "My sister was killed, I have no doubt about that, I had no clue when Sheena was dead, whenever I checked, Indrani always claimed Sheena is abroad and busy with her studies," he said.

He added that Indrani has not been in touch with him since 2014. Speaking from Guwahati, he said that Sheena and he lived in Guwahati till 2004. He also said he has not been able to establish contact with Sheena since 2004.

Sources claim that the driver, who is also accused for his role in the murder, was old a loyal servant of Peter Mukherjee and Indrani had little access to the driver. Police is likely to interrogate Peter as they also suspect he was aware of the incident and facilitated it.

Some other sources claim that Indrani told the police that Sheena was her own daughter.

The three-year-old murder of Sheena was uncovered after a tip off to the police. Indrani and her driver have been accused of killing her sister and disposing off the body. Reports say that they were involved in a property dispute.
