Defence produces Sheena and Mekhail’s grandmother Durgarani’s will that disinherited Sheena for allegedly marrying Rahul.For the first time since’s arrest in thethree years ago, the defence brought the victim’s alleged marriage to’s son Rahul on record. While cross-examining Sheena’s brotherin the special court on Tuesday, the defence produced a will made by Indrani’s mother Durgarani Bora only six days after Sheena’s murder. According to the will, the property went to Mekhail Bora, disinheriting Sheena for allegedly marrying Rahul Mukerjea. This will purportedly revoked Durgarani’s previous will where both grandchildren had an equal share in the“That it is pertinent to mention that due to some recent developments in the nature of marriage of my granddaughter Sheena Bora (with Rahul), without our knowledge and consent and the fact that she left me alone with my husband and my grandson Mekhail Bora and decided to settle with her husband, I hereby revoke/cancel my previous ‘will’ which was executed on November 4, 2009, and was duly registered before the registrar, Kamrup, Guwahati,” the defence referred to the will.“I have no knowledge that my nana-nani cancelled the earlier will because Sheena married Rahul without their consent. I was not aware that she married Rahul or even got engaged to him,” Mekhail Bora, denying knowledge of the alleged marriage, responded to Indrani’s lawyer Sudeep Pasbola’s suggestions.Mekhail’s testimony assumes importance as the CBI’s case is that Indrani and Peter were against Sheena’s relationship with Rahul. Rahul has reportedly told the police that they wouldn’t believe him (a boyfriend) over Indrani (a mother), which was one of the reasons why he was unable to get a case registered right after Sheena’s disappearance.Later during the deposition, when questioned about how Mekhail suddenly claimed that Indrani was trying to kill him in 2015 (after her arrest) but not when the alleged attack took place in 2012, he said that in 2012 he didn’t feel that way. Mekhail’s cross-examination will continue on August 16.
