Police have traced the car used in the murder of Sheena Bora and the focus of the probe has shifted to the forensic examination of the victim’s skeletal remains handed over by JJ Hospital, sources said on Saturday.
"We have sent the bones and other skeletal remains for forensic analysis and are awaiting a report," a police official said.
Police are also probing Mikhail Bora's claim that he was drugged by Indrani just hours before she and Sanjeev Khanna met Sheena Bora on April 24, 2012 and took her for what would be the last drive of her life.

Mikhail has said that on the pretext of discussing a property deal, he was given a spiked drink in his hotel room in Worli by Indrani and Sanjeev, who then left to meet and murder Sheena, sources said.
Meanwhile, Raigad Superintendent of Police, Mohammed Suvez Haque, told reporters on Saturday action would be taken against those responsible if it was established that Raigad Police hushed up the matter after they found a burnt corpse, suspected to be of Sheena Bora, in 2012 and did not file an accidental death report as per standard operating procedure.
