Indrani Mukerjea's son Mikhail Bora claims his life is under threat, CBI asks court to grant him protection

Mikhail Bora, Indrani Mukerjea’s son has claimed that there is a threat to his life in Assam. He has written a letter to the CBI who have brought the matter to the notice of the trial court. The CBI has filed an application before the trial court seeking to direct Assam police to give Mikhail Bora protection.

Earlier, Indrani Mukerjea, accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, said at a  special CBI court that she would oppose her estranged son Mikhail's claim on Sheena's share of ancestral property.

Sheena (24), Indrani's daughter from an earlier relationship, was killed in April 2012, but the killing came to light in August 2015 after Mukerjea's driver Shyamvar Rai, arrested in another case, revealed it. Mukerjea has been lodged in Mumbai's Byculla jail for killing her daughter, Sheena Bora.

24-year-old Sheena was abducted and killed on April 24, 2012, allegedly over a financial dispute, and her body was disposed of in a forest in adjoining Raigad district.

Indrani and her former husband Sanjeev Khanna were arrested in August 2015 along with her former driver Shyamvar Rai, while Indrani's present husband Peter Mukerjea was nabbed in November the same year.

In a recent development on the case, Mukerjea's personal assistant Kajal Sharma on Wednesday deposed before the CBI court that she forged Sheena Bora's signature on her resignation letter after Indrani had told her that her daughter was in the United States and had no Internet there to submit the resignation. 

The CBI, which took over the case, claimed that a financial dispute was the reason for the murder.
