Nothing is certain in life, one is often told, before preaching an endless supply of platitudes - "Always be humble, you never know what life snatches away from you" or "The ladder of success you so easily climbed, you can just as easily descend also" or "Money comes and goes".
While life is more or less mundane for most, there are some exceptions such as Indrani Mukerjea. She, who once had everything, from family to money to power to fame, so quickly lost everything as well. In 2012, the former HR consultant and media entrepreneur was accused of killing her daughter, Sheena Bora.
She was in the news for being in a group of inmates, who were booked for rioting inside Byculla jail in Mumbai following the death of a 31-year-old inmate. It has been reported that Manju Shetty died after she was physically assaulted by the police and that¡¯s why her fellow inmates revolted against the staff member, who allegedly beat her.

Indrani was among 200 others who were charged with rioting, unlawful assembly and assault on a public servant.

2.?It has been alleged that on April 24, 2012, Indrani, her ex-husband, Sanjeev Khanna and her driver, Shyamwar Rai, murdered Sheena. They burnt and dumped her body in Raigad.
3.?However, it was only in August 2015, when the police began investigating the murder after Rai was charged under the arms act and arrested. He confessed to the murder following his arrest.
4.?Sheena was Indrani¡¯s daughter from her first marriage allegedly. She also has a son, Mikhail, who claimed that there were also attempts of murdering him.

5.?Indrani is from Guwahati and has been married three times. Her last marriage was to Peter Mukerjea - who is also a co-accused in the Sheena Bora murder case - and before that she was married to Sanjeev Khanna and Siddharth Das.
6.?The 45-year-old was charged in January 2017 and is set to appear in court once again on July 4, 2017.
7.?Also in January, she told a Mumbai court that she would like to divorce her husband, Peter.

8.?Indrani often claimed that Sheena and Mikhail were her siblings. Peter also said that he wasn¡¯t aware that Sheena was her daughter.
9.?Before dropping charges, the court had also charged Indrani with providing forged documents.
10.?Further, the CBI has accused Indrani and Peter of criminal conspiracy, cheating and corruption against P. Chidambaram¡¯s son, Karti.
Indrani has been a the centre of a mystery that may inspire many scriptwriters to pen a story for a Bollywood film. In real life though, her story remains one of the most horrifying tales anybody can hear.?
