The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth

What a disgrace this lady is to the motherhood n to humanity! That's what this 4 episodes documentary on Indrani Mukherjee story makes you feel about. I had always seen individuals harming outsiders for their ambitious gains but this lady decided to sideline n clear her own children to achieve her ambitions. Demeaning her own father, murdering her daughter, presenting herself as sister of her own children to the entire world, abandoning 2 children soon after birth, sending her son in mental asylum through influence, trying to murder her son too, 3 marriages - all to remain in power n in influential position in corporate world! Probably she is the best example of a narcissist where one can only love oneself. After these many years, not even a brief stint of guiltiness. Available on Netflix. My ratings 8/10 for presentation of the story!

While this is an interesting story it is not a well made documentary. There is at best an hour's worth of material in this four hour documentary. The main subject is Indrani Mukherjea. She seems to be a famous and wealthy woman who is CEO of a media company. She seems to have achieved this mostly by marrying a media tycoon named Peter Mukherjea. Her daughter/sister (this issue is discussed at length) Sheena Bora goes missing in 2012. Indrani tries to tell everyone that Sheena left India and is probably living in the United States but her fiancé does not believe this at all. Her fiancé is her step brother which I think makes this start to feel like an Indian episode of Jerry Springer. Anyhow a body is found 3 years later and is maybe(?) identified as Sheena and Indrani is the main suspect in her murder. There is no satisfactory conclusion here and it does not seem much effort is made by anyone making this documentary or by Indian law enforcement to get to the truth.

A short internet search shows that the $90 million that Indrani and Peter syphoned out of INX media were kept in three Mauritius companies where Sheena Bora was named as the beneficiary.

Sheena wanted to get married, which would make Rahul her next of kin and he could claim rights to these syphoned millions. Rahul had a deeply negative opinion of Indrani which eventually was assumed by Sheena as well. So Sheena had to die before she would completely get from underneath Indrani's control and could endanger the $90mil.

This documentary was very interesting, I was on the edge of my seat. However, omitting the most obvious questions made it a fail for me: if you can't give the answers you should still voice the questions, if you really are an investigative journalist.

1. So whose body was it ultimately?

2. If it's Sheena's body, who is her father?

3. Where is the cell phone tracking data of the victim and the accused on the day/time of the murder?

4. Sheena's cell phone was used after her alleged death; what was its location? The US or Indrani's apartment? Who was paying for this phone number to stay in service?

5. What was the motive for her murder?

6. Did Sheena have a will + who was the beneficiary?

7. Who would benefit from her death indirectly?

8. Where are interviews with Sheena's friends or colleagues?

9. Why wasn't more attention devoted to INX Media and its nearly immediate demise?

10. How can a murder trial last for 7 years, with hundreds of witnesses/exhibits still not presented?

The entire series only goes to prove that she obviously did it.

She is super ambitious and doesn't let anything or anyone come between her dreams.

The fact that she never once went to meet her children all these years shows her true character. And upon meeting them for the first time, the first thing she says is to keep them being her children a secret.

If at all her daughter was alive, not once in the entire series does she truly call out to her to come back and end this nightmare.

The advocate also states that our job is to punch holes in the DNA test, but if Indrani was so sure it was not her daughter's body, she could have gone for a proper DNA test and ended the confusion once and for all.

Even after so long she does not have a shred of sadness over losing her daughter.

The first doubt arose when a person like her took all the effort to be upfront media / releasing a book.

From the start, there were loopholes where you can assassinate her character.

Manipulative, narcissistic and perhaps a Pathological liar. Anything to portray her good and well. Well done indrani, you don't need an advocate cuz you're one for yourself.

Regardless your strength since you were young is admirable and much amicable but your intentions and genuinity is zero.

The fact that you claim you have been a good mother even though not a perfect mother is dubious.

May you get justice in your next birth sheena.

It was a great documentary where everything and everyone was showed as it is.

Vidhie has totally drank her life off her mess and trying to retrieve slowly by yoga at the end n ofc siding her mom cuz she knows where the cash flow is.
