Indrani Mukerjea planned to kill Sheena Bora six years back: Mumbai Police


Former media honcho Indrani Mukerjea had tried to kill her daughter Sheena Bora six years ago, a report claimed.
According to a media report, Mumbai Police sources are saying that six years back, Indrani made an attempt to kill her daughter Sheena after she demanded a flat from her.
Indrani along with her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna and her former driver Shyamvar Rai are the prime accused and are in judicial custody till October 5.
The high-profile murder case was taken away from Mumbai Police and transferred to the CBI as the Maharashtra government wanted to ensure a free and impartial probe.
Sheena Bora was murdered on April 24, 2012, allegedly by Indrani, Khanna and Rai who disposed off her partly burnt body in the forests in Raigad district.
Earlier, The Times of India had reported that Sheena had been blackmailing her mother Indrani Mukerjea and demanding a three-BHK flat in Bandra (W).
According to the report, Indrani Mukerjea's former driver Shyamvar Rai told police that Indrani was extremely violent while strangling Sheena to death in the car.
She kept saying, "Now take your three-BHK flat in Bandra" many times while committing the heinous act, Rai reportedly told the Khar police.
Sheena had reportedly threatened to expose Indrani in front of Peter Mukerjea, who was convinced that his wife and Sheena were sisters.
Notably, Indrani, Khanna and Shyamvar Rai are under arrest in connection with the murder of her daughter Sheena for dumping her body near a forested area in Gagode village in Raigad district.

Second season of ISL to begin on 3 October this year


The Hero Indian Super League (ISL) is back for its second season after a successful first year in 2014.
The league attracted an average of 26,505 spectators to its matches over 10 weeks, making it the fourth post popular league in the world by that measure. The only three leagues to top it are: Germany’s Bundesliga, Spain’s La Liga and the English Premier League.
The eight-franchise league will kick off on October 3 and end on December 20, 2015. Atletico de Kolkata will begin the defense of their title down south against losing semi-finalists Chennaiyin FC in the league’s opening game.
Runners-up Kerala Blasters, the team owned by Sachin Tendulkar, will try to go one better than last time starting with a home game against North-East United FC on 6 October.
Mumbai City FC's first game will be a much-anticipated 'Maha Derby' - as it was billed by ISL last season - against FC Pune City, to be played on October 5 in Mumbai.
The anticipation this time around from fans would be to see if the ISL can woo bigger stars than they managed to last time around. The Indian players, many of whom will be a part of the World Cup qualifiers beginning in June, would also be keen to perform well and catch the attention of foreign clubs.
