The Sheena Bora murder case, which has gripped the nation for years, took a surprising turn on Thursday when the prosecution informed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court that the bones and remains allegedly belonging to Sheena Bora, which were recovered by the police in Raigad, Maharashtra, are currently untraceable.
This disclosure was made during the deposition of a forensic expert from the state-run JJ Hospital in Byculla, Mumbai. The court is currently recording the testimony of the forensic expert who first examined the bones recovered by the Pen police in 2012 from the site where Sheena Bora's burnt body was allegedly buried.
Indrani Mukerjea, Sheena Bora's mother, is the prime accused in the murder case. According to the police, the 24-year-old Sheena Bora was killed in April 2012, though the crime only came to light in 2015.
On Thursday, Special Public Prosecutor CJ Nandode informed the court that the bones and remains, which were referred to and examined by the forensic expert, could not be located despite a thorough search. Nandode added that the prosecution plans to continue the chief examination of the witness without displaying the articles, as they are untraceable.
The CBI court adjourned the matter to June 27 for further evidence recording after defense advocates raised no objections to the prosecution's request.
