Indrani and Peter, in their days,
they were really the power couple.

34
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,800
When I was introduced
to my mom's sister, Sheena,

35
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,720
I was very young.

36
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,760
I never called her, you know, "Auntie. "

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,160
It was just… just Sheena.

38
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,120
She is this… gorgeous, stunning,

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,840
kind of, very eclectic, intelligent woman.
I still remember that.

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,680
I found it extremely strange from 2012,

41
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200
there was like, suddenly no contact.

42
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,400
When people were asking, like,
"Where is Sheena? Where is Sheena?"

43
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,200
My mom would go into kind of a fit.

44
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,160
My mom told me Sheena was at the US,
and I asked her a couple of times.

45
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,000
It was just understood that, okay,
she's moved to LA

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,520
and she's doing her own thing there.

47
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,760
I think after a while, you know,
this is where I find it so weird

48
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,040
and I'm still not able
to understand this, is…

49
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,800
no one asked about Sheena
after, like, a certain point.

50
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Like, Sheena was just not…

51
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,840
brought up ever by anyone.

52
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,800
Like, at all.

53
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,440
It's, like, almost like a spell
was cast over us to forget Shee…

54
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,920
Sheena even existed.

58
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Oh God, the whole house
had kind of turned upside down.

59
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,880
There were just so many cops everywhere.

60
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,680
It was just so foreign,
the concept of cops in our house.

61
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,880
Anything to do with police
was just so foreign to me.

62
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Then I started to get really angry
with the police

63
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,920
rummaging through our stuff, you know,

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,560
I'm like, "What the fuck is going on?"

65
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,280
My mom told me to calm down.

66
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,680
One of the cops, he asked the house help
whether she knew Sheena.

67
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,200
I went straight to my mom
and I asked her, like…

68
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:25,320
"Mom, what is this about Sheena?"

69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,240
And she just looked at me…

70
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,000
and, you know, before she could answer,

71
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,880
the cop was just like,

72
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,480
"You can't talk. "

73
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,760

some material from Varsai.

On the way back,

112
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,400
I saw that a mango fell from the tree,
so I stopped the tempo on the side.

There was a hand with nails.

of being burned.

118

Then I called the police station.

119
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,320
They collected bones and some remains.

120

From the spot where the body was found,

121
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,000
we dug a pit under a tree
ten to 12 feet away from it

122
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,000
and we buried it in the pit.

123
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,000
In 2012,
the dead body clearly showed

124
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,600
that it was a case of murder
and foul play.

an unnatural death has taken place,

there's a fear factor.

it's human nature

176
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,400
that if someone goes
in front of the police,

177
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,360
then that person is frightened.

It's a simple murder case.

183
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,000
[Sahil] Even today, I think
that in the beginning,

184
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,880
Mumbai police also did not get
the enormity of the case.

185

a very juicy case for the media.

the case after three years. "

a pat on our back. "

[Rajdeep] You see, until the Sheena Bora
murder case happened,

243
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,280
{\an8}we knew Indrani Mukerjea

244
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,520
{\an8}purely through the lens
of being Peter's wife

245

and being this ambitious
corporate media baroness.

246
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:50,600
Indrani, as per the police version,
killed Sheena in cold-blooded murder.

247
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,080

249
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,240

start for Indrani Mukerjea?"

"Who is Indrani Mukerjea?"

00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,120
and even Vidhie.

327
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,880
Big revelations on the Sheena murder case.

328
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,360
Peter Mukerjea has spoken
with India Today,

329
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,080
and he's told us that he knew Sheena
as Indrani's sister.

330
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,160
[reporter] Peter, Peter!

331
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,520
{\an8}<i>My son, at one point</i>
<i>who was in a relationship with Sheena, </i>

332
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,400
{\an8}<i>had said to me that, you know, </i>
<i>"Sheena… This is not correct. "</i>

333
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,200
{\an8}<i>"She is not her sister, </i>
<i>she is her daughter. "</i>

334
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,080
<i>But I dismissed that at the time, </i>

335
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,840
<i>because I didn't think that that was true, </i>
<i>and I said, </i>

336
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,360
<i>"Look, my Indrani has told me</i>
<i>that that is not so. "</i>

337
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,960
<i>And I obviously believed my wife. </i>

338
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,720
<i>So, I continued to maintain that, </i>

339
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,120
<i>so much so that it caused a rift between</i>
<i>me and my son as a consequence. </i>

340
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,400
[reporter]
<i>Very rarely would you come across</i>

341
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,520
<i>such a complex set of relationships, </i>

342
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,920
<i>where the son of the current husband</i>

343
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,960
<i>is seeing the daughter of Indrani's</i>
<i>previous marriage. </i>

344
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,440
[Sahil] Peter Mukerjea,
Peter's first wife, two sons.

345
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,040
Rahul Mukerjea.
He stays here.

346
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,440
Then there is Indrani Mukerjea,
who has three husbands,

347
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,840
two former husbands,
all of them alive.

348
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,000
Second husband involved in killing.

349
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,360
His daughter is now daughter
of Peter Mukerjea.

350
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,960
The first husband,
his daughter is Sheena Bora.

351
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,040
She gets involved with Rahul Mukerjea.

352
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,560
So… Peter's son, Indrani's daughter,
are involved.

353
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,720
This is something very interesting
for the Indian audiences.

354
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,520
There is no Kardashian family
here in India, right?

355
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,880
[reporter] <i>Was this the reason, </i>

356
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,440
<i>the proximity between Rahul and Sheena, </i>

357
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,960
<i>that led to the murder?</i>

358
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,760
[Sahil]<i> Both Indrani and Peter</i>
<i>were against this relationship</i>

359
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,440
<i>between Rahul and Sheena. </i>

360
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,280
[Vidhie] Things were, like, very bad then.

361
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,480
Sheena and Rahul had kind of broken off
from the rest of the family

362
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,760
because they were like,
"We want to do our thing. "

363
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,840
My mom and Sheena
were just at a horrible place.

364
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,640
They were having so many fights. Um…

365
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,080
A lot of nasty, nasty words
exchanged between everyone.

366
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Rahul had been asking Indrani and Peter

367
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,680
as to, "Why is it that Sheena
has not returned

368
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,280
after meeting Indrani?"

369
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560
He kept calling up Indrani,
he kept calling Peter to know,

370
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,680
and according to Rahul,
she kept changing her stand.

371
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:40,920
That's something Rahul had,
you know, got suspicious about

372
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,200
and that is the reason why he has
recorded these conversations.

373
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,160
{\an8}<i>Papa, listen, it's not just me, okay?</i>
<i>It's not just me. </i>

374
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,080
{\an8}<i>All of her friends, right?</i>
<i>Her Facebook, her internet, her work. </i>

375
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,360
<i>They… People from her work have come</i>
<i>home looking for her</i>

376
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,080
<i>saying that she is very conscientious</i>
<i>at work. </i>

377
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,000
<i>She's never missed a day. </i>
<i>In three years, </i>

378
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,240
<i>she's never missed a day</i>
<i>without informing. </i>

379
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,160
<i>Now she's been… She's been gone for more</i>
<i>than two or three days, </i>

380
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,800
<i>and she hasn't informed anyone. </i>

381
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,080
<i>This is why it's out of character. </i>

382
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,280
<i>Can you hear what I'm saying</i>
<i>and take it in?</i>

383
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,560
[news anchor] <i>When Rahul tried</i>
<i>to reach Sheena through Indrani, </i>

384
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,960
<i>she told him that Sheena had left India, </i>

385
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,880
<i>and did not want to speak to him. </i>

386
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,680
<i>Rahul was really surprised because, </i>
<i>according to police, </i>

387
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,360
<i>he claimed that he had Sheena's passport. </i>

388
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,360
<i>So how could Sheena leave the country?</i>

389
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:31,560
{\an8}<i>My suggestion to you, </i>
<i>and it is only a suggestion, </i>

390
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,200
{\an8}<i>advice to you, guidance. </i>

391
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,200
{\an8}<i>That is to say, if that is what it is, </i>
<i>leave it alone. </i>

392
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,000
<i>She'll come back when she wants</i>
<i>to come back. </i>

393
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,720
<i>If she hasn't been in touch with anybody</i>

394
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,880
<i>and she's gone off and, you know, </i>
<i>wants to be…</i>

395
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,160
<i>wants to be… wants to be in hiding, </i>

396
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,960
<i>she wants to go off with somebody…</i>
<i>Maybe she's gone off with somebody. </i>

397
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,480
<i>Maybe that somebody</i>
<i>is an imaginary person, </i>

398
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,760
<i>I don't know. I don't… Whatever it is. </i>

399
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,160
<i>That is her lookout, right?</i>

400
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,080
<i>Her choice. </i>

401
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,360
[Sahil] Rightly, by the media,
and even in the police,

402
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,480
everybody had this question in mind,

403
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,440
that if Indrani has done this,

404
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,960
how could Peter not have
any idea about it?

405
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,840
Why didn't he trust his own son

406
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,920
when Rahul Mukerjea was desperately
trying to make him believe

407
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,400
that Indrani's lying?

408
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,680
[Rahul] <i>Why am I being… Why am I being</i>
<i>pinpointed in for something again?</i>

409
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,640
<i>I haven't done anything. </i>
<i>I haven't withheld anything from anyone. </i>

410
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,760
<i>All I'm trying to do is find</i>
<i>my bloody fiancée, </i>

411
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,000
<i>who someone picked up and moved!</i>

412
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,040
<i>God knows where</i>
<i>and God knows what situation she's in. </i>

413
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,720
[Peter] <i>Well, uh--</i>

414
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,240
[Rahul] <i>You're picking on me for not…</i>

415
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,280
<i>you know, telling you that I was sitting</i>
<i>talking to her bloody boss?</i>

416
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:41,720
<i>Where the hell is she?</i>

417
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,600
[Peter]<i> Where is she… You tell me. </i>

418
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,640
[Rahul] <i>You tell me, man. </i>

419
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520
[Rajdeep] Now, why would you,
as a parent, as a father,

420
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,840
not be worried that your son
is so traumatized that his fiancée…

421
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,720
is missing and missing
for three years?

422
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,920
I mean, the real question to ask
in this case is,

423
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,520
"What did the family members,
all of them, do for three years

424
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,240
in seriously trying to track
where Sheena was?"

425
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,880
[Vidhie] It was very weird
because suddenly I got emails from her

426
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,520
from a different account.

427
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,640
Didn't really sound like Sheena.

428
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,560
"Missing you, " all of these things.

429
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,120
But I didn't, like, question as to why…

430
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,120
you know, "Why is there
a different email?"

431
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,080
[Mekhail] Indrani told my grandparents
and me

432
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,400
that Sheena's gone for higher studies
to United States.

433
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,800
And she even told us
that for a couple of months,

434
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,160
she wants to get settled down
in that place

435
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,800
and she doesn't want anyone to contact.

436
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,480
And when she is comfortable,
she will contact back us.

437
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,600
Indrani wasn't a full-fledged,
professional criminal

438
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,920
for me to suspect her
of having murdered someone.

439
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,720
I trusted everything she said.

440
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,640
Indrani said, "Sheena is gone, "
and I accepted it.

441
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,920
[Vidhie] So, Mekhail
and Sheena were quite close.

442
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,440
Obviously. I mean,
they were brother and sister.

443
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,840
They've been together since the time
they were born, essentially.

444
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:34,240
It was one of those underlying,
kind of unspoken connections, you know.

445
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,000
I was never close to Mekhail.
I never felt, you know…

446
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,640
I never felt… right around him.

447
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,720
With Sheena, it was…

448
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,000
Today, I feel like it was almost cosmic,
you know? It was… It was instant.

449
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,720
There was just that love between us.

450
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,640
I can talk about my memories with her.

451
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,040
But when I start thinking
about all of this,

452
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:09,960
the reality is that she's…
I've not seen her,

453
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,160
I've not heard her voice
for, like, over ten years,

454
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:16,160
since 2012.

455
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,400
I just… I don't know, I… I…

456
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,360
I don't even know what to make out of it.

457
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,520
It's a really tough nut
for me to crack because I just…

458
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,760
I'm not willing to accept…

459
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,440
this reality right now.

460
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,080
[reporter] <i>As of now, Indrani has not been</i>
<i>cooperating with the Mumbai police. </i>

461
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,920
<i>She's been constantly saying</i>
<i>that her daughter is in the U. S. , </i>

462
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,760
<i>as far as she knows, </i>
<i>and she has not been killed. </i>

463
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,840
<i>That certainly is not helping</i>
<i>Mumbai police's case, </i>

464
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,080
<i>and that is why they need</i>
<i>some more evidence, </i>

465
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,480
<i>which would actually establish the fact</i>

466
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,880
<i>that these people were involved</i>
<i>in the killing of her daughter. </i>

467
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,880
It will be a challenge
for Mumbai police to gather proof

468
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,040
for the murder committed three years ago.

469
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,720
A special team from Mumbai
will be sent to Raigad.

470
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520
As the dead body
was buried for three years,

471
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,720
a forensic team will also be sent along

472
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,960
to recover the evidence.

473
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,160
[Ganesh] At four o'clock in the morning,

474
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,320
{\an8}the Mumbai police
from Khar Police Station came.

475
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,160
I was shocked to see

476
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,640
that so many policemen came to my place
so early in the morning.

477
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,560
They told me that they have come regarding
the incident that happened in 2012.

478
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,800
But it was raining,
and due to the darkness,

479
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,280
I couldn't show them the exact location.

480
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,800
[dogs barking]

481
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,320
<i>It took five to six hours</i>
<i>for us to find the body. </i>

482
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,720
<i>They packed the skeleton in a plastic bag…</i>

We still do not know
who tried to dump the case in 2012.

485
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,640
All we know is that a murder took place,

486
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,080
a particular person committed the murder,

487
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,360
but we really do not know
about the larger conspiracy.

488
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:41,320
Who contacted and prevailed
over the police not to register the case?

489
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,040
Now, this certainly had happened

490
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,040
because of some powerful,
invisible hand at play.

496
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,880
Just to give you a little bit background,
Rakesh Maria is "the" Rakesh Maria.

497
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,840
He was the head of Mumbai Crime Branch,

498
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,200
and Mumbai Crime Branch
is an ace investigating agency.

499
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,800
At least, the Mumbai media always like
to compare it with the Scotland Yard.

500
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,800

the Indian Mujahideen case,

501

He will come out of the police station
at 8:30, exactly at the prime time.

509
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,480

00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,840
This morning, we have recovered
the skeletal remains

513

of the deceased Sheena Bora.

514
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,520
We've also recovered…

Sheena Bora's passport…

516
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,800
from Dehradun today.

517
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,000
This would negate the theory…

518
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,680
that…

519
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,840
Sheena Bora went to the U. S.

520
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,640
[Rajdeep] Once the media converts a case
like the Sheena Bora murder case

521

into a crime drama,

522
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,120
then the police are also very much part
of the cast

523
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,800
that is part of this drama
unfolding in front of you.

524

And they know it!

525
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,400
You see, the police also know

526
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,800
that this is not a case
that is going to play out in anonymity.

527
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,520
It's going to play out in the glare
of a television camera…

528
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,200
where the bigger the headline,

529
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,680
the… the more sensational it is,

530
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,440

It's very important.

It's just a possibility.

534

You know, you're looking
for that little bit of extra masala

541

the entire storyline could be built.

When this case broke out,

everyone already had
their position laid out.

553
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,720
You know, my mom was the evil murderer,

554
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,720
my dad was this person
who didn't know anything at the time,

555

my stepbrothers, it was… "Oh, poor Rahul. "

For me, it was a really spoiled,
kind of bratty child.

00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,240
But whoever's interested in this case

558
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,080
should keep Sheena
at the very forefront of their head.

559
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,160
This whole thing is about Sheena.

560
