Mumbai:  Sources who provided mid-day with a list of questions (in Hindi) that the police asked Sheena Bora’s boyfriend, Rahul Mukerjea, said he told the cops that Sheena’s mother, Indrani – who is also one of the accused in the murder case – had told him that Sheena had gone to the US for further studies.

He told the cops that his father (Peter Mukerjea) had also told him the same story. When the police questioned him on Indrani’s relation to Sheena and Mikhail, he stated that Sheena told him she was Indrani’s daughter.

Police: Why didn’t you try to contact Sheena after 2012?
Rahul: Whoever I asked refused to say anything about her.
