Sheena Bora murder case accused Indrani Mukerjea's son Mikhail Bora today requested the special court here for speedy recording of his testimony and said he might lose his job in Guwahati if he stayed here for too long.
Mikhail, a prosecution witness in the 2012 murder case, told special court judge J C Jagdale that he was unemployed for the last two years and landed a job at a restaurant in Guwahati only recently.
"If I stay here for too long, I might lose that job. I won't get a job just because I am the son of Indrani Mukerjea," he pleaded.
Before her arrest, Indrani was a promoter of INX Group along with her current husband Peter Mukerjea, also an accused in the murder case.
Sheena was the biological daughter of Indrani, born from a previous relationship.
Sheena's brother Mikhail recorded his statement on the second consecutive day today.
As the defence and prosecution counsels were arguing for the next date of hearing, Mikhail stood in the witness box and said, "Will you provide me a job?"
The judge then directed the prosecution to complete recording Mikhail's testimony tomorrow and said the date for his cross-examination by the defence will be decided.
During his deposition today, Mikhail told the court that Sheena had told him that Indrani used to discriminate between her and Vidhi (Indrani's daughter from her former husband Sanjeev Khana) and that Sheena would fight with Indrani over this.
He said Sheena wanted to address Indarni as mother, but the latter was against it.
Indrani had always maintained that Sheena and Mikhail were her siblings before her arrest in 2015.
Mikhail said Sheena was in a relationship with Peter's son Rahul and that Indrani was against it.
"Indrani often used to call me and say that she didn't like the relationship between Sheena and Rahul. She had told me to inform Sheena that the relationship was not good for her," he told the court.
Mikhail said Indrani had messaged him saying she would 'disinherit' Sheena if the latter continued her relationship with Rahul.
Sheena (24) was allegedly killed by Indrani with the help of others in a car in April 2012.
However, the incident came to light in August 2015 after Mukerjea's then driver Shyamvar Rai, who was arrested by police for possessing a firearm, disclosed it.
The Mumbai Police arrested Indrani, Khanna and Rai for allegedly killing Sheena. Later, Peter was also arrested for allegedly being part of the conspiracy to kill Sheena.
The CBI, which took over the case, claimed that a financial dispute was the reason for the murder.
