Indrani hired hitman to kill son Mikhail

Police investigating the Sheena Bora murder case discovered on Sunday that Indrani Mukerjea had hired a Mumbai-based contract killer to eliminate her son, Mikhail Bora, in August 2014. It was her fourth attempt to kill Mikhail. A high-ranking bureaucrat said it was learned that Indrani or her associate had paid Rs 2.5 lakh to a contract killer. "Our information is that the plan failed to take off. We have detained the contract killer. He has admitted that he was hired by Indrani to eliminate Mikhail," he said. Guwahati-based Mikhail had told police that Indrani tried to kill him thrice. Earlier, she had sent him to the state-run Pune mental hospital. He had also claimed that before Sheena was killed on April 24, 2012, Indrani had visited Guwahati twice and tried to drug him.
