Mikhail further added that being Indrani's son is not going to earn him a new job.

Indrani Mukerjea's son, Mikhail Bora, who is one of the witnesses in the Sheena Bora murder case, on Tuesday post-deposition informed the sessions court that he could not wait in Mumbai for long for his deposition as he has just joined a new job, and that the office might sack him if he takes too many leaves. Mikhail further added that being Indrani's son is not going to earn him a new job.

As per the prosecution, Indrani, her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna, and her driver Shyamvar Rai had allegedly abducted Sheena, Indrani's daughter, killed her and later dumped her body in the jungles of Pen in Raigad district. Later, Peter Mukerjea, too, was arrested in the matter.

The statements were given when the defense pleaded the court that it would be unable to conduct the cross-examination of the witness immediately, due to the its advocate's unavailability for a week. 

Meanwhile, the court presided by judge JC Jagdale had asked the CBI to reimburse for the flight tickets as well as the lodging, and food expenses, which Mikhail incurred for the last three days.

Meanwhile, Mikhail repeated the entire scene wherein his deceased sister, Sheena had informed him of how Indrani and Peter Mukerjea would fight with Sheena, and how Indrani had asked Sheena to stay away from Peter's son, Rahul.

Mikhail also said Indrani had asked him to inform Sheena to stay away from Rahul. He said that he strongly suspects that post Sheena's death, Indrani had also allegedly tried to lace his drink when he felt that things were not right with him, and he then subsequently rushed off to Guwahati.
