Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, is now out of danger and will be kept under observation for the next 24 hours, said JJ Hospital Dean Dr TP Lahane. There are conflicting forensic findings on suspected drug overdose leading to Indrani's hospitalisation.
Lahane said Indrani's condition has improved, she is conscious and responding to oral commands, adding that she will be discharged within 48 hours. He added that the forensic report is authentic but the Hinduja Hospital report is yet to come.
The Forensic Science Laboratory reports accessed by CNN-IBN showed no traces of chemicals in Indrani's blood and urine samples.
Wife of media baron Peter Mukerjea, Indrani was arrested by Khar Police on August 25 for her alleged role in the murder of Sheena. Indrani's daughter Sheena, 24, was allegedly kidnapped from outside National College in Bandra and strangled to death in a car by Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai.
Indrani's lawyer moved a local court seeking permission to meet her in the hospital and the court sought a re-report on her health condition.
During the hearing, the CBI, which has taken over the investigation in the Sheena murder case, told the court the probe is at an initial stage and the gravity of the offence is very serious.
Meanwhile, Principal Home Secretary (Prisons) Vijay Satbir Singh said the probe is looking into all aspects including whether the medicines or any other toxic substance she consumed were prescribed by the doctors and if there was an overdose, how did that happen.
The probe is also looking if there was negligence or foul play and action would be taken against those found responsible, he had said. "After she regains consciousness, the statement she gives will provide vital information on how she fell unconscious and if there was a drug overdose, how did that happen. If there is an element of criminality, a case will be filed against those guilty," Singh had said.
