3 Officials in the investigating team said that Indrani and Sanjeev had called Mikhail to Mumbai in the last week of April in 2012.
4 Mikhail had also said that just hours before Indrani and Khanna met Sheena on April 24, 2012, Indrani allegedly drugged him but he managed to escape from the spot.
5 The murder case took another turn on Sunday when police seized a suitcase from the residential premises of Indrani and Peter Mukerjea in Mumbai’s Worli area, lending credence to Mikhail’s claim about his her plan to kill him.
6 Police took Khanna and Indrani’s driver Rai to the forest in Raigad district where Sheena’s body was allegedly dumped, to ‘recreate’ the crime scene.
7 During sustained interrogation on Saturday, Indrani and Khanna had blamed each other for the crime.
8 Indrani accused Khanna of committing the murder and dragging her into the crime. However, he said he only assisted Indrani as she had promised to help him financially.
9 Maharashtra Police has ordered a probe into why the Raigad Police did not register an Accidental Death Report (ADR) after they found a burnt corpse, suspected to be of Sheena Bora, in 2012.
10Khanna has confessed to his "complicity in the crime." He had earlier said that, Sheena’s body was lying next to him in a car in which they were travelling together in Mumbai on April 24, 2012.
