Sheena Bora Murder Trial: Witness Vidhie Mukerjea's Stunning Reversal on CBI Statement

A dramatic twist has unfolded in the sensational Sheena Bora murder case, as key witness Vidhie Mukerjea, daughter of prime accused Indrani Mukerjea, made a significant retraction regarding her testimony. After initially alleging that a statement attributed to her by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was a forgery, Mukerjea has now confirmed before a special CBI court that the investigating agency did indeed record her statement in 2015.

The unexpected shift occurred during Mukerjea's ongoing cross-examination.

Earlier, her testimony had caused a stir when she claimed the document presented by the CBI, purporting to be her statement, was falsified and that she had never made such declarations to the authorities. This assertion had cast a shadow of doubt on a crucial piece of evidence in the high-profile case.

However, under further scrutiny, Vidhie Mukerjea clarified her position, stating that while certain details might have been misconstrued or not precisely recalled, the core fact remained: the CBI had approached her and recorded her formal statement as part of their investigation into her step-sister Sheena Bora's murder.

This admission marks a pivotal moment, potentially reinforcing the prosecution's evidence and changing the dynamics of the defense's strategy.

The Sheena Bora murder case, which captivated the nation, revolves around the alleged killing of Sheena Bora in April 2012. Her mother, Indrani Mukerjea, along with her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai, were arrested in 2015 and accused of the crime.

Peter Mukerjea, Indrani's then-husband, was also arrested on charges of conspiracy. The trial has been protracted, marked by numerous delays and sensational revelations.

Vidhie Mukerjea's testimony is crucial as she is intimately connected to the families involved and possesses unique insights into the relationships and events leading up to and following Sheena Bora's disappearance.

Her latest statement is expected to be thoroughly scrutinized by all parties involved, as the legal battle continues to unfold in the pursuit of justice for Sheena Bora.
