Sheena Bora ‘indeed dead’: CBI counter to Indrani Mukerjea’s claims
India Today
All the evidence collected so far indicates that Sheena Bora is not alive, the Central Bureau of Investigation said.
Denying Indrani Mukerjea's claims, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said on Friday that there is "enough evidence" to confirm that "Sheena Bora is indeed dead".
The central probe agency filed its reply to an application made by Indrani Mukerjea, Sheena Bora's mother and an accused in her murder case, before a special court in Mumbai.
In her application, Indrani Mukerjea had claimed that her daughter is still alive and was last spotted in Srinagar by a fellow jail inmate - a police inspector - who was willing to record her statement before the authorities.
In her letter to the joint director of CBI on November 27, 2021, Indrani Mukerjea wrote that Mumbai police inspector Asha Korke, arrested on extortion charges and her fellow inmate in Mumbai's Byculla jail, had claimed to have met Sheena Bora last June near Dal Lake in Srinagar.

When she did not receive a reply from the joint director, Indrani Mukerjea approached the court through her lawyer, Sana Raees Khan.
According to Indrani Mukerjea's handwritten plea before the court, Korke tried to reason with 'Sheena' when she bumped into her and said that she must come forward since she is alive and help her mother who is languishing in jail.
