Bones, remains found in Sheena Bora case missing: CBI tells special court

The forensic expert had first examined the bones recovered by the Pen police of Raigad district from the spot where Bora’s burnt body was allegedly buried.

As per court records of Wednesday, special public prosecutor C J Nandode submitted that “after diligent search, the articles referred (bones and remains of victim’s body) and examined by the forensic expert”, who is a witness in the case “are not traced out to the office record”.

Nandode further submitted that the “the prosecution intends to proceed with the further chief-examination of the witness expert without showing the articles to her as they are not traced out.”

After the defence lawyer did not object to the prosecution’s request, the court adjourned the matter to June 27 for recording evidence in the case.

Indrani Mukherjea, former media executive and a key accused in the alleged murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, was granted bail by the Supreme Court in May 2022, nearly seven years after her arrest in August 2015. However, she is still facing trial for allegedly killing Bora on April 24, 2012.
