Mumbai: The chargesheet filed by CBI against Peter Mukerjea in his stepdaughter Sheena Bora’s murder case contains the statement of one of the childhood friends of the 25-year-old victim, which speaks about Sheena’s unpleasant relation with her mother Indrani Mukerjea.
Sanjana Raktim in her statement to CBI has said Sheena had come to Guwahati during Raktim’s marriage in 2011 and had showed her a ring in her finger saying she had got engaged with Rahul Mukerjea and was planning to marry him the next year.
“Sheena’s marriage with Rahul would have led to people in Mumbai circle knowing that she was the daughter of Indrani (Mukerjea) and not sister, which would seriously affect of Indrani,” said Raktim in her statement.
Though the statement is found in the chargesheet filed against Peter Mukerjea, it speaks mainly about Sheena’s relation with Indrani and not much about Peter.
Raktim has given CBI printouts of e-mails exchanged between Sheena and her. These e-mails contain conversations about the sour relationship between Indrani and Sheena. In an email sent by Sheena on October 26, 2009, she said, “I am not in touch with my mother (Indrani). She can’t change. I have understood that till now. I don’t wish to make my life difficult by getting back in touch with her. She has never made any efforts to make things better between us after all the Delhi incident and again trying to get me chucked out of my job. I have no good regards for her. I cannot forgive her. I am too happy with Aita, kaka, Mikhail and u guys.”
According to Raktim after consulting her cousin, who is a lawyer, she had advised Rahul Mukerjea to approach the police after he told her that Sheena had been untraceable after he had dropped her near National College in Mumbai. She also said that she also made efforts to find Sheena but they were in vain.
The witness also told CBI that in 2002 Sheena showed Raktim a newspaper clipping about Indrani and Peter Mukerjea’s marriage. Raktim said that after going through the news Sheena started weeping and said she and Mikhail were aware that Indrani was their mother.
She has also said she received an e-mail on June 22, 2009 and came to know that Sheena was in hospital in an unconscious state. According to Raktim, Sheena’s mail said, “Bahut natak hua, phone mere pass nahin hai, milungi to bataungi (There was too much drama, I don’t have my phone with me I will explain you whenever we will meet).” In another mail sent to Raktim on August 26, 2009, Sheena told her Indrani tried to remove her from her job service and ‘gave bullshit to her boss’.
