After Sheena I was Indrani's next target : Mikhael Bora
Bora, who was brought to Mumbai from his hometown Guwahati, reportedly told interrogators that he was staying at the same hotel in Worli in south Mumbai where Indrani Mukherjee's ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna was staying.
Khanna is one of the three main accused arrested so far in connection with the murder that took place on April 24, 2012.
Twentyfour-year-old Bora claimed that Indrani had called him to Mumbai to discuss financial matters. He alleged that he was offered a drink spiked with sedatives at the hotel. After he started feeling groggy, he grew suspicious and managed to escape, media reports quoted police as saying.
Bora had earlier said that he knew the "exact reason" of the crime and had promised to tell all on August 31 if Indrani Mukerjea, arrested for daughter Sheena's murder, failed to confess to the cops. He also said, "I am the next target".
"We have questioned Mikhael Bora and he has given us some points and we are verifying it," Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria said at a press conference on Friday evening, where he also said claimed that Sanjeev Khanna had confessed to "his complicity in the crime".
Mumbai Police has found human skeletal remains from Raigad where Sheena's body was allegedly found. The remains will be sent for DNA testing soon.
"We have recovered the skeletal remains of the deceased Sheena Bora. We interrogated the third accused. and he has confessed to his complicity in the crime. Further investigation is going on and our teams have gone to other parts of the country for investigation, we have got the remand of the 3rd accused till the 31st and further investigation is on. We recovered the skeletal remains and we shall be dispatching for the DNA test," Maria said.
Police say Indrani's second husband Sanjeev Khanna has confessed and that Sheena's passport has been recovered from Dehradun. "We have also recovered Sheela Bora's passport from Dehradun. This would negate the theory that Sheela Bora went to the US," Maria said.
