Testimony Reveals Unused Legal Aid in Sheena Bora Murder Case

A witness in the Sheena Bora murder case revealed in court that a Supreme Court lawyer offered to help file a police complaint on behalf of Sheena's fiancé, Rahul Mukerjea, but he didn't accept the assistance. The witness also described family disputes involving Sheena prior to her disappearance.

In the ongoing legal proceedings of the Sheena Bora murder case, a significant disclosure was made by a witness on Friday. The witness, a school friend of Bora, testified before a special CBI judge, revealing that an offer of legal assistance to Sheena's fiancé, Rahul Mukerjea, was turned down.

She detailed how her cousin, a Supreme Court lawyer, had suggested that Mukerjea file a missing person's report and even offered to file a habeas corpus petition, but the offer was not taken. According to the witness, Mukerjea's attempt to file a complaint at a police station was unsuccessful.

Further insights into Bora's family relations were provided, highlighting conflicts over property and strained ties. The witness noted that a police commissioner was contacted to clarify familial relations after Indrani Mukerjea's arrest in 2015. Indrani stands accused of murdering her daughter Sheena in 2012.
