Mumbai: Soon after being discharged from JJ hospital in Mumbai, TV tycoon and key accused in Sheena Bora murder case, Indrani Mukerjea, recorded her statement with police late on Tuesday night about the circumstances under which she fell unconscious last Friday.
In her statement, Indrani has claimed that she did not stock up on any pills and neither did anyone supply them to her. She added that her condition was a result of her being upset over her mother's death.
Indrani was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday evening and moved to the Byculla Women's Prison. Her discharge report states that she is both mentally and physically fit.
Newly-appointed IG (Prisons) Bipin Kumar Singh is heading the probe into the circumstances under which Indrani collapsed in Byculla Women's Prison, where she is lodged under judicial custody since Septmeber, and rushed to state-run medical facility five days ago. It is suspected that the 43-year-old had overdose of anti-depressant pills.
After Indrani's hospitalisation, conflicting reports had emerged on suspected drug overdose in prison. While one report showed she had overdosed on anti-depressant pills, the other found no such thing.
Indrani and two other accused were arrested in August-end on the charge of murdering her daughter and disposing of the body in a forest in Raigad district, about 84 km from Mumbai, in April 2012. All the accused has been remanded to judicial custody till October 19.
Bora case is presently being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). A magistrate court will hear a CBI plea on Wednesday seeking permission to interrogate the three accused in the case in judicial custody.
