Mumbai Police along with Indrani Mukerjea's ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her driver have reached the spot in Raigad they Sheena Bora's was allegedly buried. The are re-creating the crime scene at the forested area.

The village official in Raigad district, who helped Mumbai Police team locate the spot , on Sunday said when he first spotted the body in 2012 it was just a skeleton with no flesh. "It was all skeleton. There was no flesh. The local government doctor took it for post mortem, after which it was buried," Police Patil Ganesh Dhene of Hetevne village said.

Asked how he came across the skeletal remains, Dhene said: "I had gone to collect mangoes. The body was not in a suitcase. The surrounding area was burnt." Asked if the area was burnt as a result of petrol being poured on the body, Dhene said, "I don't know if it was burnt by petrol or something else."

Yesterday the car in which Sheena Bora was allegedly killed was traced while questions cropped up of a cover-up by police in not registering a case of murder or accidental death 3 years ago when a partially-burnt body believed to be hers was found. 

"We have traced the car. The car had changed many hands in three years and we are yet to recover it," said a senior police official. The police also said they will be taking the three arrested accused to Raigad district to recreate the crime scene. The police also sought call data records of the three accused. As the investigation focused on forensic examination of the skeletal remains found in Pen tehsil, the police also admitted that no due procedure was followed when the body was first found on May 23, 2012.

Raigad police virtually confessed to the casual way in which they treated the case when a burnt body was spotted, a month after Sheena was believed to have been murdered. "Neither a crime, nor a report of accidental death was registered when Raigad police sent recovered skeletal remains to JJ hospital (in Mumbai) in 2012," the current Raigad superintendent of police Suvez Haque told reporters in Alibag, the district headquarters. "I have been ordered to probe all the wrongs or lapses that were committed," said Haque, who took over as Raigad SP earlier this year. "We have given a factual report to our seniors. Inspector General of Police (Konkan Range) yesterday ordered an inquiry. We will complete it at the earliest and produce our report," he said.

Indrani's son and Sheena's brother Mikhail Bora was questioned yesterday at a hotel here. Police said Khanna and Indrani were giving evasive replies.
