The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth

The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth

The documentary revisits the Sheena Bora murder case, which gained national attention in India following Bora’s disappearance on April 24, 2012. Initially reported as Indrani Mukerjea’s sister, Sheena was later revealed to be her daughter. In 2015, a burnt body discovered in Raigad, Maharashtra, was identified as Bora’s through DNA testing, leading to Mukerjea’s arrest alongside her driver Shyamvar Rai, ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna, and then-husband Peter Mukerjea. The series examines Mukerjea’s narrative, her rise as a media executive, and the allegations of murder, juxtaposed with testimonies from her daughter Vidhie Mukerjea, son Mikhail Bora, journalists, and lawyers. It incorporates archival footage, call recordings, and reenactments to explore the case’s sensationalism and its impact on Indian society.
