SHILLONG: Even as the Sheena Bora murder case nears conclusion with the grilling of the mastermind, media persons here tried to contact the Principal of Lady Keane College, where Sheena’s mother Indrani Mukerjea (then Pori Bora) was a student, for information on the accused.
However, despite numerous attempts, the principal of the college preferred to remain tight-lipped on the issue.
Indrani’s academic information was also sought by several media houses from outside and the same was acknowledged by the principal when few media persons tried to contact her recently at the college.
On the first attempt, the principal said that she has been contacted on this episode and is trying to trace the academic files related to Pori Bora (Indrani) at the moment. She informed that her office is on the job to locate the batch files of those particular years when Pori (Indrani) was a student in the college. However, when few media persons including those from this daily tried to contact her again recently since nothing was forthcoming from her side, the principal did not receive or return phone calls despite several attempts to contact her even as her office staff maintained that they are still trying to trace the file.
It is an irony that in the digital world this NAAC accredited college is taking so much time to trace a file that is as recent as from the 1980s.
Indrani, who allegedly murdered her daughter Sheena Bora in Mumbai, had this Shillong connection attached to this criminal melodrama in a complex web of linkages of personae, serious relationship perplexities as to “who is who” and a series of marriages with children.
This cold blooded murder had shaken the nation as incriminating revelations flooded every new day.
Indrani was a student of the city based Lady Keane College in the late 1980s. It was here she met Siddhartha Das. Indrani, who claimed that Sheena was her sister until the murder angle broke out, was said to have been in a ‘live-in’ relationship with Siddhartha and the victim is said to be the first child of the ‘couple’.
This was her first marriage and Mikhail, whom Indrani claimed as her brother, is the other child from the relationship. There were speculations earlier whether Siddhartha fathered both of them until he himself cleared the air recently.
