Vidhie Mukerjea Ends Testimony in Sheena Bora Trial With Affidavit That Contradicts Earlier Denial

The reversal puts her credibility at the center of the prosecution’s case.

Overview

  • After denying this week that she ever gave investigators a statement, Vidhie submitted an affidavit saying the CBI recorded her statement in 2015 when she had just turned 18.
  • Her affidavit and courtroom account conflict with her earlier claim that documents in the CBI chargesheet attributed to her were forged and fabricated.
  • She testified that Rahul Mukerjea told her he dropped Sheena to meet Indrani on April 24, 2012 and later picked her up from the same spot that night.
  • She identified a female voice on an April 2012 audio clip as Sheena’s, asserting the recording indicates Sheena was alive after the prosecution’s alleged murder date.
  • She alleged Peter Mukerjea’s sons Rahul and Rabin siphoned Indrani’s jewellery and about ₹7 crore after the 2015 arrests, and she disowned her 2021 memoir ‘Devil’s Daughter’.
