169
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,600
give up the child for adoption.
170
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Even if I had to live with the stigma
171
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,960
of not being able to explain
to the world who the father was.
172
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,640
-[reporter] Indrani Mukerjea…
-[Upendra] Yeah.
173
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,360
-[reporter] Your daughter.
-[reporter 2] Your daughter.
174
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:31,840
-[Upendra] Yes?
-[reporter 2] Sir, do you know…
175
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,840
[reporter]
Whose daughter is Sheena?
176
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,920
[reporter 2] Sheena.
177
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,160
[reporter and reporter 2] Who is Sheena?
178
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,960
[Upendra] Yes, Sheena is my granddaughter.
179
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,000
[reporter] Your granddaughter.
180
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,680
[reporter 2] Who is the father?
Who is Sheena's father?
181
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,800
Sheena's daughter…
182
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,600
She's not my daughter.
183
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:46,600
-[reporter 2] Yes.
-She is Siddartha's daughter.
184
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,080
[reporter 2 and reporter] Siddartha Das?
185
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Siddartha Das, yes.
186
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,760
[reporter]
And where does Siddartha Das stay, sir?
187
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920
[reporter 2]
Where does Siddartha Das stay now?
188
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,400
No, I don't know
where is his location now.
189
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120
{\an8}[Indrani] I moved to Shillong after that.
190
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,080
{\an8}To continue with my education.
191
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:12,120
And that's where actually
I meet Siddartha for the first time.
192
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,600
[birds chirping]
193
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,920
He was just a friend, I mean.
194
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,560
One fine day,
I just blurted it out to him,
195
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Siddartha basically said that, "Look,
196
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,920
if you would like,
197
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,520
I would be very happy
to give the child my name, ”
198
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,760
which was actually something
I had not expected.
199
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,760
Siddartha took that decision
200
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,200
to come in and take responsibility
of Sheena, of me,
201
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,320
for a better life that
he would've never had otherwise.
202
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,480
-[tender music playing]
-[baby coos]
203
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Sheena was born
a couple of months later in '87.
204
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,040
[baby coos]
205
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,200
I'll tell you why I thought of "Sheena. "
206
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,480
I used to like Sheena Easton a lot.
I used to enjoy her music.
207
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:06,440
So, I think that "Sheena" name
kind of stuck in my head.
208
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:15,400
My reason of taking my relationship
with Siddartha ahead was Sheena.
209
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,280
I went back to Guwahati.
210
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,480
And Siddartha moved into my room finally.
211
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,720
I conceived again.
212
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,040
And I wanted to go ahead
with the pregnancy.
213
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,560
It was my choice to go ahead
with the pregnancy.
214
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,640
Months later, Mekhail was born.
215
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,640
And then I had…
216
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,160
one more cesarean section,
217
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,240
which was, again, another scar on my body,
but a welcome scar.
218
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,200
And Siddartha was kind of
performing the duties
219
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,240
of a father of a newborn child.
220
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,520
[reporter] One minute, please listen.
Just for one minute, please listen.
221
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,880
[Siddartha] No, I won't listen now!
Leave me.
222
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,120
At four o'clock in the evening.
223
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,040
-[reporter] One minute.
-[Siddartha] No.
224
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,440
[indistinct clamor]
225
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,880
[reporter]
When was Sheena born?
226
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,040
When was Sheena born?
227
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,840
Sheena was born 11/2/1987.
228
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Mekhail was born 9/9/88.
229
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,720
-[reporter] Both are yours?
-Yeah.
230
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,720
[reporter] Why did you not get in touch
with your children?
231
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,480
I was not financially sound.
232
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,960
What can I do?
233
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,360
They were brought up by their
grandfather and grandmother.
234
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,520
[reporter] Brief us
on what exactly happened.
235
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,880
Why did you part ways?
236
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Why did I part… I didn't-- never parted
with her. She parted away. She left.
237
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,200
-[reporter] Why?
-That is… You should ask her, why?
238
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,680
Well, Siddartha comes from a family,
really, I would say,
239
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,080
um…
240
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,560
an unprivileged family.
241
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,120
The way Siddartha was brought up,
242
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,200
that was beginning to become
very apparent to me.
243
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,560
He's just a very, very…
244
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,080
ordinary guy.
245
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:21,720
So here, I am now, almost 17.
246
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,120
Mom came to see me in my room.
247
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Then she said that, you know, "I think…
248
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,880
we should kind of…
249
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,560
have Dad back home. "
250
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,720
That was the turning point in my life.
251
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,240
There was nobody,
252
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,840
nobody…
253
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,080
who was there to take care of me.
254
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,560
I decided…
255
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,800
to leave.
256
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,000
I would've killed myself.
257
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,240
I could not… I could not…
258
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,280
see my rapist a third time round.
259
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,480
[Mekhail] Indrani, as a mother…
260
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:23,680
why would she hand over
her daughter Sheena to a molester?
261
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Siddartha Das is our father.
262
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,320
{\an8}Since our childhood,
we've only known that.
263
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,600
{\an8}To save her own skin, Indrani…
264
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,920
comes up with a new story, a new theory,
265
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,520
and keeps on blaming others.
266
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,600
My parents, Indrani and Siddartha,
were never there in my life.
267
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,680
For me, my grandparents
were like my parents.
268
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,640
What is left behind in this house
is like the old memories of our childhood…
269
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,520
and the hardship
which my grandparents took
270
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,160
to bring us up.
271
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,480
Sometimes, in a month,
such situations used to arise
272
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,240
where our grandparents stayed hungry
to make sure we had food on our plates.
273
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,760
When we were growing up,
Sheena was like my elder sister,
274
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,560
but we were like best friends.
We used to play together.
275
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,640
We used to do all kinds of,
you know, childish stuff.
276
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,000
Our neighbors used to say,
"They are the most mischievous…
277
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,120
troublemakers in the neighborhood. "
278
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,320
So… I remember that much.
279
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,160
[Amrita] I am a Delhi-based reporter,
but I grew up in Guwahati.
280
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,120
This is where I met
both Sheena and Mekhail.
281
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,120
Sheena was a year younger to me.
282
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,360
She was very popular
with not just the students
283
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,480
but also the teachers.
284
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,920
Mekhail, on the other hand,
was a very naughty person.
285
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,080
He would constantly get into trouble
with the teachers.
286
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,320
[Mekhail]
Sheena was more curious than me.
287
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,640
"Why did she leave?
What happened?"
288
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,680
"Why are my parents not together?"
289
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,760
Sheena used to think, "If she gave birth
to us, then why did she leave?”
290
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,720
Indrani left us in such a way that…
291
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,120
she didn't even keep any contact.
292
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,040
She didn't know if we were alive or not.
293
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,400
And Sheena kept all this sadness
in her heart.
294
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,160
She expressed herself in a diary.
295
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,880
[dramatic music playing]
296
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,480
[Amrita] I found out that…
297
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,040
there is a way that I can get the diary.
I don't want to go into details of it,
298
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:15,360
because that is not going to be good
for my source,
299
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,120
but there was a point
when I did see the diary.
300
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,200
[dramatic music playing]
301
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,200
I was reading what she wrote
about her mother,
302
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,120
and it was kind of shocking.
303
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,840
I took some pictures of it,
and then I wrote my story.
304
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,200
This is the diary entry,
which we've put out right now,
305
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,040
is the diary entry where she speaks
about her mother, Indrani.
306
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,880
She very categorically says
that she's very depressed.
307
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,600
She says her future is bleak.
308
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,320
And she goes on to lash out
at Indrani Mukerjea,
309
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,800
saying that, "I hate my mother. "
310
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,200
"She's a witch, " and she calls her
other such derogatory terms as well.
311
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,840
[news anchor] She says,
"I don't know how I feel about my mother. "
312
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,760
"Did she not even remember us?
Does she not care about us?"
313
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,280
[Indrani] The story, basically,
314
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:16,080
that my mother gave
to Mekhail and Sheena was…
315
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,960
they had taken their responsibility
316
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,680
because they wanted me to go out
317
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,120
and because I was extremely bright.
318
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,320
And they wanted me not to get
kind of just bogged down
319
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,120
with kids and move on with my life.
320
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,320
[upbeat music playing]
321
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,840
You know, I was this, uh…
322
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,480
young girl who came into Calcutta,
323
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,600
and, most importantly, you know,
I think what was very intriguing
324
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,840
was people didn't really know much
about me.
325
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,520
[Abhijit] When I met Indrani first,
326
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,240
{\an8}she needed stability
because she was staying in YWCA.
327
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,760
{\an8}She didn't have anybody,
family was back home.
328
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,760
She needed a home,
she needed a roof over her head.
329
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:09,600
Someone to take--
bring some food to the table.
330
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,600
Sanjeev was one of the options she had.
331
00:20:15,120 --> 00:20:18,560
[Indrani] I had gone out for dinner
with my friends from the YWCA,
332
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,560
and Sanjeev had come too,
with his friends.
333
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,200
We got along very well initially.
334
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,720
I was quite attracted to him.
335
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,400
{\an8}[reporter] Indrani's ex-husband…
336
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,440
[indistinct clamor]
337
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,080
[reporter] Sanjeev!
338
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,800
Sanjeev, you must answer these questions.
339
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,240
What's the motive
behind the murder, Sanjeev?
340
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,640
Sanjeev, what's the motive
behind the murder?
341
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,600
Why did you kill Sheena, Sanjeev?
342
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,520
Answer!
343
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,400
{\an8}How and on what basis
was Sanjeev Khanna arrested?
344
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,520
I am shocked, because…
345
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,040
he doesn't have
anything like that in him.
346
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,080
He is that kind of person
who will even help a wounded dog.
347
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,320
{\an8}Sanju Khanna was my schoolmate,
and he became my secretary.
348
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,480
And then he was also a member of my clubs.
349
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,680
I'm member of most clubs here, but CCFC…
350
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,200
-Most happening club.
-The most happening club,
351
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,240
the drinking man's club,
the sports club.
352
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,720
[Suchi] And Sanju is a very active member
of the club.
353
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,880
Every Saturday they will
have some party
354
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,920
or the other where Sanju is invited.
355
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,960
Then came Indrani on the scene.
356
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,280
Sanjeev introduced her to everybody.
357
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,280
She met scores of people there.
358
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,160
And slowly and steadily,
her social circle also started growing.
359
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,240
She was a bit of a social climber,
360
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,640
looking for people who could probably,
you know, elevate her status.
361
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,760
From a man's point of view,
362
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,520
there was something about her.
363
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,840
There was something charming about her.
364
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,960
Well, something sexy, as you can call it.
365
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,040
Whether it was her lips or eyes,
366
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,120
there was something which drew
a man's eyes onto her.
367
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,800
I think I do realize
that when I walk into a room,
368
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,600
I think I always end up
369
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,600
being one of the most attractive women
in the room.
370
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,760
Men do look at me.
371
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,760
And women get uncomfortable.
372
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,560
She had a way of, you know,
373
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,800
enticing or getting to you,
you know, to connect.
374
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,240
She was manipulative,
375
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,480
so if she wanted something,
she would have it, you know.
376
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,680
Indrani Bora came to Kolkata,
she had a lot of aspirations.
377
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,720
She met Sanjeev Khanna,
and they fell in love with each other.
378
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,840
They stayed together
for more than five to six years.
379
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,160
This was the house where they stayed
together in a joint family.
380
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,160
He came from a very decent family.
381
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,120
I mean, he pretty much ticked
all the boxes.
382
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,480
We had a really nice,
good, Punjabi wedding…
383
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,400
with all his family.
384
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,240
And I had no family.
385
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,960
And then, four years later,
I conceived again.
386
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,120
Vidhie was born. It was '97.
387
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,360
I'm telling you that the first time
she told my wife that,
388
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,080
-"This is… I'm having a baby. "
-First baby.
389
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,000
"This is my first baby. "
390
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,640
{\an8}[Indrani] Sangeeta, please give me my tea.
391
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,720
[Sangeeta] Yes.
392
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,920
[Indrani mutters]
393
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,360
[Indrani] Thank you. Thank you, Sangeeta.
394
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,560
Thank you.
395
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,000
In the court of law,
396
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,640
I am still kind of innocent
till proven guilty, right?
397
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,040
Even though I spent, like,
so much of time in prison.
398
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,880
But in society,
I have already been tarnished.
399
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,800
My reputation is gone.
400
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:16,200
I have already been branded.
401
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,680
The murderess who has killed
her own daughter,
402
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,360
which is like, it is so untrue.
403
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,440
It is so factually incorrect.
404
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,920
For example,
I have no connect with Sanjeev.
405
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,840
Apart from Vidhie, you know,
because Vidhie is a common factor.
406
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,760
Anything regarding her school
or if it's a happy birthday message.
407
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,960
Apart from that,
408
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,960
Vidhie and myself have not been
in Sanjeev's life for the last 25 years.
409
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,280
[Rajdeep] Why would a husband
from your previous marriage
410
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,400
{\an8}help you and become a co-accused…
411
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,200
{\an8}in killing off the daughter…
412
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,800
{\an8}from a previous relationship?
413
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,040
There are various theories thrown up.
414
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,040
[news anchor]
Indrani is a con woman.
415
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,440
She is a con woman.
416
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,840
So how do you
emotionally blackmail somebody?
417
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,400
All these tactics,
this is all criminality.
418
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,040
My assumption is that Indrani
manipulated him.
419
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,160
And, you know, gave some sob stories,
420
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,000
saying that maybe Vidhie's life
is in danger.
421
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,120
That's my opinion or my view.
422
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,880
And he fell for it,
he was very gullible,
423
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,320
and to some point, stupid, I would say.
424
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,400
We're not taking sides,
we're not casting any direct aspersions.
425
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,760
We're providing a sense
426
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,720
of what Sanjeev Khanna's activity was
on social media
427
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,240
at the time of the murder,
428
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,200
{\an8}and April 30, 2012,
429
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,040
{\an8}just days after the murder
is alleged to have taken place,
430
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:45,720
{\an8}"Sometimes I get so weird,
I even freak myself out. "
431
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,880
What makes the Sheena Bora
murder case so unique is…
432
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,560
the more information
that was provided to us,
433
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,840
the more confusing it became,
the stranger it became.
434
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:03,680
And with every answer
that we were supposedly being given,
435
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,120
more questions arose.
436
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,840
Peter was my husband when I got arrested.
437
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,960
Sanjeev is just a blip in the radar
for me.
438
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,320
Now with Peter, Peter was my life.
439
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,440
I knew that there was something more
for me that I needed to achieve,
440
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,640
and I had the fire in the belly.
441
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:32,840
[Abhijit] She wanted to get away.
442
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,720
She realized that she couldn't do much
in Calcutta.
443
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,640
[Indrani] I like Bombay,
I like the vibes,
444
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,000
I like the energy in Bombay.
445
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,480
And I knew that that was the place for me.
446
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,360
So, one evening,
there's a fashion show at the Taj.
447
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,320
Peter and I met at the bar.
448
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320
Peter was powerful.
449
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,160
He said that, "I'm the CEO of Star TV. "
450
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,240
So, I said, "Yeah, I am Indrani. "
451
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,720
So, he asks me,
452
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,880
"Are you Bengali? Because Indrani
is a very Bengali name, " so I said, "No. "
453
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,480
"My married name is Khanna. "
I still remember what I said.
454
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,960
Then he volunteered the information
that he was a divorcee.
455
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,640
He asked me, he said,
"Do you want to be a…
456
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,680
small fish in the big pond
or a big fish in the small pond?"
457
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,440
So, I said, "I want to be a big fish
in the big pond. "
458
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:37,920
Meanwhile, my relationship
was falling apart with Sanjeev.
459
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,680
I had decided that,
460
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,080
you know, I am going to file
for a divorce.
461
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,360
And I am going to take Vidhie.
462
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,720
I was very, very clear
that Vidhie is going to stay with me.
463
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,600
And I moved to Bombay.
464
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,400
[Vidhie] When I met Peter,
I landed from Calcutta with my mom,
465
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,160
I was sitting on the trolley,
on, like, the suitcase,
466
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,120
and I was just there
with my little pigtails.
467
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,360
And he-- I saw him, and he saw me,
468
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,680
and it was just-- it was, like,
so cute and awkward, you know?
469
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,360
I was just, like, "Hello, I'm Vidhie. "
470
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:11,840
And he was just like, "Hello. "
471
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,040
And he had to really bend down,
because I was, like, this high.
472
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,920
I think we got home,
and then I ran into the kitchen.
473
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,320
And I looked at my dad, and I was like,
"Do you have any chocolate?"
474
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,440
And he was just like, "I do. "
475
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480
I was like, "Okay, can you give me some?
But, like, don't tell Mama. "
476
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,320
And he-- [laughs]
That was just our first secret.
477
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,960
And we, like, never--
He never told my mom.
478
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,680
He never told her anything.
And I think, instantly, we just became…
479
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,800
It was that father-and-daughter bond,
you know?
480
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,440
[Deejay] It was a bit of a surprise
that she took the baby along with her,
481
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,920
and… as far as I'm concerned,
abandoned Sanjeev Khanna,
482
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,640
because he was broken after that.
483
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,640
Heartbroken.
484
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,320
[Vidhie] Sanjeev really wanted
to have a relationship with me.
485
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,720
But I was in a really different space
then, you know.
486
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,600
I was so wrapped around, you know,
487
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360
Peter being my father,
and I was just so in love with him.
488
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,080
I mean, me and my father
were closer than me and my mom.
489
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,160
[Rajdeep] You see, the question is,
how much did Peter really know?
490
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,200
And how much has Peter really revealed?
491
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,120
Has Peter also told us less
than what he really knows?
492
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,800

When asked, Peter Mukerjea refused to sit

with a joint questioning session
with his wife, Indrani.
498
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,520
[Indrani] Peter was, after all,
not all that bright.
499
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,880
So-- Which is why, perhaps…
500
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,880

after I was arrested.

00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,880
I am completely shocked and horrified
by the information that I am getting
503
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,200
and by the revelations that are coming out
almost by the hour.
504
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,720
Um…
505
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Both in terms of, um…
506
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,120
you know, who Sheena Bora actually is,
507
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,200
you know, how many marriages
Indrani has had in the past,
508
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:19,320
and the, uh, entire episode
of Sheena Bora going missing.
509
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,800
Obviously, I have three cesarean scars…
510
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,640
on my stomach.
511
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,240
Right?
512
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,640
So, Peter knew everything,
513
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,880
right from inception.
514
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,400
I really want to believe that, you know,
515
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,360
my father, Peter, doesn't have anything
to do with it. I want to believe that.
516
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,840
But what I will say is there are
far too many…
517
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,280
fucking weird things that have happened.
518
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,120
{\an8}We have a beautiful home in Bombay.
519
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,640
{\an8}The Marlow house.
520
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,200
{\an8}It was a pretty high-valued flat.
521
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,960
{\an8}My parents had decided that they're going
to gift it to me on my 18th birthday.
522
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,400
26th of August is my birthday.
523
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,840
25th of August
is when my mom got arrested.
524
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,600
On the day of my mom's arrest,
in the evening,
525
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,160
there was a letter sent out
to stop the transfer from happening.
526
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:27,440
Now, your wife is in a police station
charged for murder.
527
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,520
And the first thing you can think of
is to tell the building manager,
528
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,800
"Stop the transfer of property. "
529
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,520
What the hell is going on?
530
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,520
[indistinct clamor]
531
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,800
[news anchor] Perhaps the biggest amount
of silence
532
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,880
comes from Peter Mukerjea himself.
533
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,440
The fact that he didn't file
a missing person report for Sheena,
534
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,720
who actually lived in his house.
535
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,040
{\an8}So, you've heard, I was listening.
I was making a cup of tea,
536
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,680
{\an8}and I was listening to what
Indrani was saying.
537
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,120
{\an8}-[Rahul] Hmm.
-[Peter] So, we've spoken to a…
538
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:09,240
this friend of ours, Deven Bharti.
He is the head of the Mumbai crime branch.
539
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,480
-[Rahul] Hmm.
-[Peter] We've called him,
540
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,800
we have given him the numbers, so…
541
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,000
that's what we've done,
given both your number
542
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,240
and Sheena's number.
543
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,200
So, he'll find out where the phone is.
544
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,960
-[Rahul] Yeah, okay, okay. Yeah.
-[Peter] Yeah?
545
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,680
{\an8}[Sahil] Deven Bharti
is a senior police officer.
546
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,600
And of course, you know,
a lot of times, this happens.
547
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,560
Like, you approach a friendly officer…
548
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,320
saying "Boss, can you just find out
where she might be?”
549
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,800
"We don't want to get into the registering
a case and all that stuff. ”
550
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,400
"As a friend, can you help out?”
551
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,040
{\an8}If we don't--
If we can't find out where she is
552
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,200
{\an8}in the next-- you know, in the--
by the end of this after--
553
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,720
{\an8}well, it's already half-five,
so we're gonna have--
554
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,280
{\an8}I'm gonna have to go and file
a proper report in the police station.
555
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,760
{\an8}-Regardless…
-We have already done…
556
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,840
{\an8}[Rahul] Yeah, that's good.
That's good for you guys. That's good.
557
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,360
{\an8}Hopefully, the more the better, you know.
Even I'll do it.
558
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,400
[Indrani] We are not even doing it
at a junior level,
559
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,880
we're doing it at the top of the--
we're doing it at the headquarters
560
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,000
with the head of the crime branch,
you know?
561
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,880
You can't-- It is already--
We have to. It is not a choice.
562
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
-We have already done it.
-[Rahul] Excellent. Excellent.
563
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,880
Well, I'll go and do the same,
and then they'll have more,
564
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,240
you know, going on the same thing.
565
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,280
I can tell them what I know,
and whatever I think.
566
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,200
[Peter] Yes, so you do that. You put a…
567
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,200
lodge this thing
at your local police station,
568
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,480
saying that she has gone,
569
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,720
she has sent this message,
and she's gone. This is what--
570
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:27,920
[Indrani] Wait for Deven Bharti.
571
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,120
[Peter] Last time,
this is what had happened.
572
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,800
[Indrani] Wait for Deven Bharti.
573
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,600
[news anchor] Peter Mukerjea
and Indrani Mukerjea approached him
574
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,440
and told him that it's a personal case
575
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,120
and that Sheena has been found,
576
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,720
so there is no need
to go for any investigation.
577
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,560
[news anchor 2]
Did a senior cop protect Peter Mukerjea?
578
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,680
[news anchor 3]
The cover-up was hatched
579
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,560
at the highest levels
of the law machinery itself.
580
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,520
[news anchor 4] People on the inside
might have been shielding…
581
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Sheena Bora's murderers.
582
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,920
[indistinct clamor]
583
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000
[Vidya] Peter was being called
almost every day
584
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:12,680
to the Khar police station.
585
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,000
And what was really intriguing
was also the fact
586
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,400
that whenever Peter was there, you know,
the commissioner would be there.
587
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,760
That was intriguing in itself
as well as to
588
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,680
{\an8}why was Rakesh Maria really taking
so much of interest in this personally?
589
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,680
{\an8}I have neither heard nor seen
a police officer of such a high rank,
590
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,720
Commissioner of Police, Mumbai,
591
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,200
who has got more than 40,000 people
working under him,
592
00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:41,600
taking up a single case
and devoting all his time and energy
593
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,440
in the investigation of the case.
594
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,920
Then the conspiracy theory started.
595
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,480
Is he trying to protect Peter Mukerjea?
596
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,400
Because that is the question
which everybody had in mind.
597
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,080
Then Rakesh Maria was transferred.
598
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:55,840
{\an8}[news anchor]
Mumbai's Police commissioner Rakesh Maria
599
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,360
{\an8}has been moved out in the middle
of the Sheena Bora murder probe.
600
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:04,800
What happened to Rakesh Maria
is he got instantly moved out of the case.
601
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,960
It was very humiliating,
actually, for him.
602
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,680
He was going to retire.
This was going to be his big break.
603
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,120
After a mega mess
over who exactly is handling
604
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,760
the Sheena Bora murder investigation,
605
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,920
the Maharashtra government yesterday
decided to hand it over to the CBI.
606
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,200
But will that lead to speedy justice
in this case?
607
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,080
[Rajdeep] The Mumbai police
claims it's cracked it,
608
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,560
and then suddenly, now,
609
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,640
the case is being transferred
to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
610
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Naturally, the impression
that is gonna go out there
611
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:35,640
is that, "Is there a cover-up?"
612
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,760
After the case got moved to CBI,
613
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,680
my dad got arrested
within a couple of days.
614
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,920
[Indrani] One big regret that I have
is my marriage to Peter.
615
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:50,880
And I genuinely believe
616
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,000
that I would not have been
in this situation today
617
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,800
had I not married Peter.
618
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,360
[somber music playing]
619
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,960
[news anchor] CBI director
Mr. Anil Sinha has confirmed to me
620
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,720
that just 20 minutes ago,
621
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:15,960
Peter Mukerjea has been arrested.
622
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,880
[indistinct chanting]
623
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,320
[news anchor 2]
The case has been built up by the CBI
624
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,960
that Peter Mukerjea was complicit
in the criminal conspiracy.
625
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,440
Peter Mukerjea has been accused
of destruction of evidence
626
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,880
and misleading the investigating agencies.
627
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,400
The CBI is also looking
at the financial angle
628
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,520
as a possible motive for the murder.
629
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,480
[Mekhail] It was a cousin of Indrani…
630
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,560
who actually saw an article
in a newspaper,
631
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:04,240
where it was published
that Indrani got married with Peter.
632
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,400
For at least 15 years,
we were not in touch.
633
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,760
We posted a letter to her.
634
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,520
And surprisingly, we got a… reply back.
635
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,240
In December 2002,
636
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,280
a letter arrived in Star,
637
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,600
which was handwritten by my father.
638
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:31,000
So, the letter basically said that,
639
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,440
"We are going through serious
financial hardships…
640
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,200
and we would like you
to financially help us,
641
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,960
because now your kids are growing up. "
642
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,280
She immediately told us
that she will be sending two tickets
643
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:46,880
for Sheena and me.
644
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,840
We were very excited, obviously,
645
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,120
to meet our mother, after so many years,
646
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,960
whom we have seen in just photographs.
647
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,280
[camera shutter clicks]
648
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,600
I did not abandon my children.
649
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,160
I left my children with my mother
650
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:13,480
because I was not even an adult.
I could not feed them, clothe them,
651
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,600
I could not-- I did not have the means.
652
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,160
And at the right time, I would have.
653
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:23,280
It was perhaps a matter of coincidence
that that letter came.
654
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,960
[indistinct announcement over PA system]
655
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:30,800
[Mekhail] Finally, that day came.
656
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,440
That was our first time
experiencing a flight somewhere.
657
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,680
We even fought
for the window seat. [laughs]
658
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,080
Personally, it never came
to Sheena's mind or mine
659
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,360
that she was so successful
and that our life would be awesome.
660
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,680
We didn't think about that.
661
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,400
We were just happy
because we were meeting our mother.
662
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,520
[emotional music playing]
663
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,680
We thought we would finally be a family.
664
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,280
But what happened next
would be the reason…
665
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,000
she tried to kill both of us.
666
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,600
