MUMBAI: Indrani Mukerjea had a soft corner for Vidhie, her daughter from her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna, and was afraid that the entire property might go to Sheena Bora and Rahul Mukerjea after their engagement because Peter Mukerjea liked Rahul, his son from his first marriage. She therefore planned a conspiracy along with Sanjeev and her driver Shyamwar Rai to kill Sheena, says the 4,300-odd-pages-long chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, citing it as the motive behind the murder most foul that has had the nation in its grip since her arrest on August 25.
Indrani and Khanna refused to undergo a lie detection and narco analysis test. But the CBI said it has enough evidence of Sheena's murder being carried out by Indrani, Khanna and Rai and also an attempt to kill Mikhail.

The chargesheet weaves a story of criminal intent at work in Indrani's mind as she even wrote a "positive response" to a "passionate email from Sheena who said she was very 'happy and safe with Rahul' and questioned her mother why she was "so upset" because of it, barely a month-and-a-half before she was killed. "The positive response from Indrani was a part of strategy to lure her into her confidence so that she could execute her plan to eliminate her own daughter who was creating trouble for her," says the chargesheet, a copy of which TOI has in its possession.
Indrani was not happy with the love affair and sent Sheena first to Delhi and then to Bangalore. Rahul found that medicines given by Indrani to Sheena were sedatives meant for mental illness and a doctor suggested she should not take them. He moved Sheena to Mumbai, where they lived together in a rented house and stopped talking to Indrani and Peter, who expected an apology from them.
In 2004, Indrani had made a will in Sheena's favour over a New Delhi flat, says the chargesheet. She and Peter sold the flat in 2010, but Rahul contested his father's signature on his will which Indrani claimed had left her half the flat. Altercation and an acrimonious relationship continued in the Mukerjea household when in 2011, Peter told his son not to attend a family wedding, but he and Sheena did, causing a quarrel and an outburst from Indrani. The scene prompted Vidhie to SMS Rahul. The SMS said, "...Mama is getting 'worried' about you 2 so I am just warning you guys.. pl don't say anything because I will actually be dead. If not dead Mama will do something soooooo bad...trust me..Mama says she doesn't want to break up the relationship she wants to get someone out of the way. I ve just heard something exotic..."

The CBI said Indrani's and Sheena's strained relationship was evident again in April 2011. Sheena wrote to Peter, "My problem is only with Indrani which is personal. You could make Indrani understand that bad mouthing me or Rahul wont (sic) solve anything." Indrani tried hard to end Sheena and Rahul's relationship, including with an email threat by Mikhail to disinherit her from the ancestral home in Guwahati.
Sheena and Rahul's engagement in October 2011 was perhaps the final nail, the chargesheet suggests. Indrani disinherited Sheena from her property and assets and emailed Mikhail about it.
An upset Sheena poured out her pain in a mail to her mother on March 9, 2012, little knowing perhaps that a month and half later, her life would be snuffed out. She questioned her on the disinheritance and said, "You should have either not given birth to me or not left me with your parents. Why didn't you take me with you? What and where have all this left me now?? All of this has left me really hurt and devastated once again. I am very happy and safe with Rahul...Shouldn't that be the most important thing for parents..I am your daughter I have some of you in me..I will find my way through life and be just fine."
The CBI said Indrani and Khanna were still in touch and conspired so that Vidhie would benefit financially from all properties of Indrani and Peter as a January 7, 2011 will executed by Peter and Indrani left Vidhie as legal heir to some properties.

The driver, Rai, was given Rs1.25 lakh for planning and helping with disposing the dead body to destroy evidence. In the first week of April 2012, Indrani called Sheena for dinner and Sheena told Rahul she noticed a change in Indrani's behaviour. Indrani informed her driver and assistant about her visit to Mumbai (from UK) on April 23 in advance. Rai hired a car and visited Khapoli in Lonavala on April 22 and went to receive Indrani at the airport the next day. Both went to Lonavala to finalize the body disposal spot, on the return purchased two big- size bags, stored them in the car boot and met Sheena the next day for her engagement gift and dinner at Amarsons showroom in Khar.
On April 24, the day of the murder, Indrani, says the CBI, purchased liquor, water, sedatives, hand gloves and also visited a beauty parlour. She purchased two pairs of male shoes and one female pair.
Rahul dropped Sheena so she could meet her mother and left. Indrani, Khanna, Rai and Sheena took the car towards Pali Hill in Bandra, where Sheena turned drowsy from drinks her mom plied her with. Shyamwar covered her mouth, Khanna pulled her hair and Indrani strangulated her.
To Rahul's calls, Indrani sent an SMS from Sheena's phone that she'd stay back with Indrani. The next day, he received a message from Sheena's phone that she was "enjoying herself" and then that she wished to "discontinue our relationship". "I don't have the heart to say this to u. I met someone else. In fact I v left wth him," the message said.
Rahul persisted with his queries, questioned the inconsistent response, saved the SMSes and recorded phone conversations with Peter and Indrani, which CBI took on record in its probe.
Indrani then went on a spree of misinforming people, including Rahul, Vidhie, Sheena's friends and her workplace, that Sheena was happy and in US. No police action was taken to trace Sheena despite Rahul's request.
On August 22, Rai showed Mumbai cops the places where he and Indrani went to hide the body and where it was burnt. Earlier, on May 23, Pen cops had informed the Mumbai cops about a dead body and sent samples to the Kalina lab.
Rakesh Maria, the then police chief, swung into action and when he arrested Indrani she spilled the beans.
