Witness Reveals Crucial Insights in Sheena Bora Murder Trial

A witness in the Sheena Bora murder case testified that a Supreme Court lawyer offered assistance to Bora's fiancé, Rahul Mukerjea, in filing a police report, which was declined. The witness also revealed familial disputes and attempts to locate Sheena after her disappearance. The case resurfaced in 2015 following revelations from an arrested accomplice.

In a significant development in the 2012 Sheena Bora murder case, a witness disclosed on Friday that a Supreme Court lawyer had extended help to Bora's fiancé, Rahul Mukerjea, to file a police complaint after her disappearance, an offer Mukerjea declined.

Testifying before Special CBI Judge J P Darekar, Bora's school friend highlighted that her cousin, a Supreme Court lawyer, advised Rahul to report Sheena's disappearance to the police. However, Rahul failed to do so, reportedly due to non-cooperation from the police when he attempted.

She further testified about familial disputes and a conversation where it was claimed that Sheena was held against her will in a Pune rehab center by her mother, Indrani Mukerjea. The murder case saw light in 2015 after an accomplice's confession post-arrest.
