Mekhail Bora, son of Indrani Mukerjea, the main accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, told the Central Bureau of Investigation court that he learnt about Sheena’s death from news channels and if he had stayed back in Mumbai he too would have died.
On the third day of his chief examination by CBI prosecutor Kavita Patil, Mr. Bora said that Ms. Mukerjea had come to meet him when he was he was hospitalised in Guwahati. She told him that she wanted him to come to Mumbai with her but he refused.
After repeated coaxing failed, she told him she would stop giving him money. When he still refused to join her, Ms. Mukerjea she left for Mumbai.
After that incident, Mr. Bora kept calling and messaging Mrs. Mukerjea to at least take care of her parents and his grand parents, Upendra Kumar Bora and Durga Rani Bora.
He told Judge J.C. Jagdale that if he would have been in Mumbai he would not be alive to give this testimony. Mr. Bora then identified photographs in court which included childhood photos of Sheena and him, Ms. Mukerjea and their father, Siddhartha Das.
