Netflix viewers have been left disturbed by a new series on the streaming platform that 'lingers at the back of your head'.
It follows the case of 25-year-old Sheena Bora who mysteriously went missing in April 2012.
She supposedly sent her boyfriend and step-brother Rahul Mukerjea a break-up text.

Her mother, Indrani Mukerjea, claimed at the time that Sheena had left India to continue her education in the US.
Indrani would go on to become one of the prime suspects in the case however, and was arrested three years later in connection with Sheena’s alleged murder.
Sheena's step-father, Peter Mukerjea, was later arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), with a subsequent charge sheet describing him and his wife as 'equal participants' in getting rid of Indrani's daughter.

Indrani was sent to a women’s-only prison in Mumbai after several of her pleas for bail were rejected.

One particular Facebook user took to the social media platform to share their views.
They wrote: "One of the most disturbing docu-series on Netflix. While it appears incomplete owing to non-participation of the major players, whatever little crumbs they gathered shocks you to the core.
"The extremity of human psyche in lying, manipulation, control, coercion is exposed brilliantly here. The set-up, angles of locations in Mumbai is so creepily portrayed you wont be able to see the city the same way again.
"The series just lingers at the back of the head even after weeks. Narcissism is scarily displayed here. Even though the series seems half-way left, it certainly is not for the faint-hearted."
While over on X, one viewer called the series 'harrowing as heck'.
