Bora murder case as the former STAR CEO went back on his claims admitting that Sheena had told him that she was not his wife Indrani's sister. Mukherjea, who had previously claimed that he knew Sheena only as his wife's sister, on Thursday detracted, saying Sheena had told him some time back that she was Indrani's daughter.
When he confronted Indrani with what Sheena had told him, she dubbed it as "utter rubbish", he told a news channel.
He also claimed that Indrani had shown him an e-mail in which Sheena had purportedly stated that she wants to end love affair with Rahul, Mukherjea's son from an earlier marriage.
In another twist, Indrani's father Upendra Kumar Bora disputed his daughter's claim that murdered Sheena Bora was his daughter.
"Sheena is not my daughter. I am her grandfather," said 80-year-old Bora, whose name was said to have been given by Indrani as father in the birth certificate of Sheena, who was born in February, 1989.
Khanna, who had divorced Indrani, is believed to have told the Mumbai police in Kolkata that he was in the car in which Sheena was allegedly strangulated but claimed to have slept during the crime. This apparently contradicted the arrested driver's claim before police that Indrani and Khanna had strangulated Sheena in the car after giving her a spiked drink in a hotel room in Mumbai.
The body was then taken to a village in Pen tehsil of Raigad where it was burnt with petrol. Khanna had reportedly come to Mumbai on April 23, 2012, a day before the murder and took a flight back to Kolkata on April 25, according to police sources.
