A few days later, the young girl is
called by her mother to National College in Bandra. Her boyfriend
drops her and leaves. Following which she is nowhere to be found.
After that he receives few messages from the girl that she wants to
break up a 2 year old relationship and she has moved to the USA. She
even mentions that she has found someone else and is happy with him.
The boy wishes to believe the sms that
was sent to him. The step-sister/ his step-mom who was against their
union manages to convince her step-son that her step-sister is in the
USA.
The boy who should have asked the
question, “What happened to Sheena?” is convinced that she is in
the USA inspite of having her passport with him.
The police officers who took the boy’s
complaint three years ago forgot to ask the same question, “What
happened to Sheena?” when they believed the woman who told them
that she had left India.
THREE YEARS LATER
An anonymous phone call, a tip off and
the arrest of a driver with respect to an arms related case lead the
police officers to begin searching for a woman who went missing 3
years ago.
The media begins to take interest in
the case when a woman named Indrani Mukerjea who is the step-sister
of the deceased is arrested who apparently happens to be a media
tycoon and the wife of Star Tv’s ex-ceo, “Peter Mukerjea”. The
media goes bonkers when it turns out that Indran Mukerjea is the
biological mother of Sheena Bora(the deceased) and not the
step-sister.
The following day a man is arrested
from Kolkatta. Interestingly this man who is Sanjeev Khanna by name
is Indrani Mukerjea's ex-husband.
The media, the nation, the police after
three years began asking the question to the arrested driver, Indrani
and Sanjeev, if they killed Sheena.
As the story unviels, it is revealed
that three years ago Sheena was drugged and later strangulated in a
car. The following day her body is burnt and thrown in the jungle of
Raigad. The villagers find the burnt body and the police begins to
investigate. Suddenly the investigation is stopped and no one seems
to have found the answer to the question, “Who's body was it?”
Now when the story is out in the open,
every news channel is trying to investigate the case in it's own
manner. For 14 days since the investigation began, as I tuned into
every news channel, the only headline/ Breaking News I saw was about
Sheena. The other news about OROP and FTII had taken a backseat. Even
the Gujarat riots was not covered properly. I found this as another
high profile case like that of Aarushi and Sunanda Pushkar. Only that
this time the media had taken a longer interest in this case that the
previous ones.
There were a lot of interesting facts
that emerged every single day as this horrific crime of honour,
money, lust and lies was out in the open to be criticized and torn
apart. A wikipedia page was created for Indrani Mukerjea which never
existed before. A top cop who started investigating this case was
suddenly promoted as the DG 20 days before his due date. It was
revealed that Indrani had two children from her first relationship to
a man named Siddhartha Das and Sheena was one of them.
Her son came out in the media and said
that his mother was behind his life. Why was he quiet so long? Didn't
he question where his sister was? Why did Peter Mukerjea who was
considered to be so intelligent enough to be the CEO of a company
believe his wife blindly? Was he just blind in love or is he hiding
something? Why didn't the boy who was in a live-in relationship with
Sheena, who claimed to be so mad in love with her that he was ready
to make her his wife even after knowing that she was his step-sister
stay quiet so long?
Why is the media who went haywire last
month about this case suddenly quiet all of a sudden that since two
days they've stopped telecasting anything related to this case?
As I see this murder case get concealed
every other day with a different set of of facts like that of the
financial angle or the investigating team being replaced, all I can
foresee is that this is just going to be shut and closed like every
other high profile case in India. The powerful will walk free and we
will be left with questions that will always be unanswered.
Till today no one knows what happened
to Aarushi Talvar. Based on some unclear evidences the parents were
convicted.
Are we again going to be left with the
question, “What happened to Sheena?” I just hope that I am proved
wrong.
