Here are the latest developments:

1. Till her arrest this week, Ms Mukerjea had projected her children, Sheena and Mikhael, as her younger siblings. Ms Bora, who initially lived with Ms Mukerjea and her husband Peter Mukerjea, met and fell in love with Rahul Mukerjea, Peter Mukerjea's son from an earlier marriage.
2. Mikhael Bora has, since Ms Mukerjea's arrest on Monday, declared her guilty. However, during his interrogation in Mumbai yesterday, he said that on April 24, 2012, he was in Mumbai at the same hotel where Sanjeev Khanna, his mother's second husband, had checked in.
3. Mikhael Bora says that his mother's plan was to murder him as well but that, after he was drugged at the hotel, he managed to escape.

6. Rahul Mukerjea, who was secretly engaged to Ms Bora when she was killed, was asked by the police why he didn't push harder when he was told by her mother that she had moved to the US. The police say Ms Bora's passport was found in Dehradun at the family home of Rahul Mukerjea and his mother.
7. Rahul Mukerjea has said that he tried to get the police to investigate Ms Bora as a missing person but the cops bought her mother's story of a re-location to Los Angeles.
8. During a face-to-face interaction with Ms Mukerjea yesterday, Rahul Mukerjea was asked by the police about any possible links of his father Peter Mukerjea to the murder. He allegedly responded, "Why don't you ask her (Indrani Mukerjea)?"
