    Vir Sanghvi takes to YouTube to speak on Indrani Mukerjea & Sheena Bora murder

    MUMBAI: As the Sheena Bora murder mystery involving former INX Media CEO and co-founder Indrani Mukherjea continues to shock the nation with its developments, people are keeping their eyes glued to the news for any update that explains the possible motive behind this chilling murder. After all, the question of the hour remains, “What could lead a mother to killer her own child?” Those who can answer are also closely associated with the case, and hence are either keeping silent, or being kept away from the media by the police.

    Thus, conspiracy theories can hardly be kept at bay and those who knew the now infamous couple are coming up with their own version of why and how things might have chanced.

    One such person is popular journalist and current advisor in Hindustan Times Vir Sanghvi. Sanghvi served as INX Media news business CEO, which was floated by Peter Mukerjea and the accused Indrani Mukerjea.

    Through a short video titled ‘Curious Case of Indrani Mukerjea’ on his YouTube channel – Go Viral with Vir Sanghvi – the veteran journalist has shed light upon the psyche of Indrani Mukerjea with whom he has closely worked.

    In the video, Sanghvi draws parallels between ‘honour killings’ in villages under Khap Panchayat orders, the Arushi murder case which, according to him, still remains a mystery, and the Sheena Bora murder case, which he feels ‘is straight out of Chinatown.’

    Addressing people who have been asking him if Indrani seemed like a murderer to him, he says ‘No’ as there is hardly a way to tell a cold blooded murderer from their face. “But she did seem deranged,” he continues, “Indrani was a fantasist and the line between reality and what was in her head was blurred. I think that kind of person eventually becomes amoral,” adding with a hint that Indrani was money-minded to the core.

    He concludes the video by sharing how this incident has shaken him and how he won’t be able to look at other high profile personalities in the same way.

    Ankur Arora Murder Case, Vikram Bhatt’s next directorial venture

    MUMBAI: After churning out films based on murder mysteries, frightening creatures and evil omens, Vikram Bhatt is back with a realistic drama on a subject which every middleclass Indian fears and prays it never happen to anyone, death in a hospital.

    The movie starring KK Menon, Tisca Chopra, Paoli Dam and Arjun Mathur, directed by Suhail Tatari and co-produced by Dhanraj Films Pvt Ltd and BVG Films (a division of ASA), is enthused by real-life happenings of medical negligence, with all strata of society falling prey to the episodes that very few are aware of.

    The storyline is created in the line to expose and address the fatal flaws in the medical profession – producer-director Vikram Bhatt with his upcoming next titled ‘Ankur Arora Murder Case‘ will take audiences from the operation theatre to the courtroom as a well-known surgeon, essayed by the talented K K Menon will be put on the stand and tried for murder.

    This will be another demanding directorial endeavour for Vikram Bhatt, who pins his hope on the concept of the movie and seeing medical negligence in a different connotation. "I am aiming at creating a sensible realistic drama on one of middleclass Indian‘s biggest fears, death in a hospital. I‘m deeply disturbed by the spate of deaths due to medical negligence. We assume only the poor die due to medical negligence. Not so. The rich who can afford the best treatment also die because someone in the Operation Theatres goofs up. It‘s very important to not to let gross medical negligence go unpunished. We are saying that Ankur Arora didn‘t die just because doctors failed to save him. Instead, it was plain murder."
