The docu-series titled Indrani Mukerjea Murder Case: The Buried Truth claims to reveal new and surprising elements in the disappearance of Sheena Bora. It was supposed to stream from February 23 onwards on Netflix.
A bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Manjusha Deshpande directed the makers of the docu-series to hold a special screening of Indrani Mukerjea Murder Case: The Buried Truth and posted the matter for next Thursday.
In the docu-series, the prime suspect, Indrani Mukerjea, will speak about her point of view, dig deeper into the disappearance of Sheena Bora, and its aftermath on her life.
It was last month when Netflix announced the release date of the murder-mystery docu-series and wrote, "A sensational scandal that rocked the entire nation, with one family`s darkest secrets at the center of it all. The Indrani Mukerjea Story Buried Truth, coming on February 23 only on Netflix!"
However, for most of her life, she was raised by her maternal grandparents, with Indrani posing as her sister.
While everything was going fine, the case came to light in 2015 when Indrani`s driver, Shyamvar Rai, confessed her involvement in Sheena Bora`s murder. His confession led to several arrests, including those of Indrani Mukerjea, her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna, and her then husband, Peter Mukerjea.
The investigation uncovered a complicated and shocking web of lies, deceit, and family dynamics. It was then found out that the purpose of the murder was reportedly financial and personal disputes over property and relationships.
The Sheena Bora murder case became the most discussed topic due to the involvement of prominent people.
