Sheena murder case : ‘Mikhail not tortured during treatment’
A doctor who had treated Indrani Mukerjeas son Mikhail Bora for psychosis told the special CBI court here on Thursday that he was not confined or put under physical restraint, as alleged, during the treatment
Mumbai: A doctor who had treated Indrani Mukerjea's son Mikhail Bora for psychosis told the special CBI court here on Thursday that he was not confined or put under physical restraint, as alleged, during the treatment.
Mikhail had earlier told the court, which is conducting trial in the Sheena Bora murder, that he was tortured during the treatment at the behest of his mother Indrani, the main accused.
He had alleged that he was put in confinement, given electric shocks and tortured during the treatment for psychosis because his mother wanted to prove that he was "insane". He also said that he did not take drugs.
Dr Yusuf Machiswala, who treated Mikhail at Masina Hospital here, said Mikhail was referred to him for "substance-induced psychosis" in 2006. "To the best of my knowledge, he was abusing tobacco and cannabis," the doctor told Judge J C Jagdale, adding that he was transferred to another hospital after two months.
"Indrani (again) called sometime in the month of April 2012 and said that Mikhail was behaving aggressively and she also mentioned the name of Sheena," the doctor said, adding that he suggested an anti-psychotic medicine and asked to bring Mikhail to hospital.
