Court Orders CBI to Produce Sheena Bora's Laptop in Murder Trial

In the ongoing Sheena Bora murder trial, a special court directed the CBI to produce Sheena Bora's personal laptop, previously listed among unrelied evidence. The court noted the laptop was identified by Rahul Mukerjea, a key witness and Sheena's former fiancé, but flagged missing documentation such as seizure panchanama and forensic reports. Despite the CBI's opposition, the court emphasized the laptop's evidentiary value and the need for its inclusion to ensure a fair trial.
