Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in Sheena Bora murder case, on Monday said that she did not consume nor was she fed any medicine when her health deteriorated suddenly and collapsed inside the Byculla prison last week.
Officials investigating the case initially suspected that Indrani had planned to consume a controlled dose of medicine to plot a ground for her bail, but her repeated denial about the same has deepened mystery surrounding sudden deterioration in health.
Doctors treating her at JJ hospital, however, said that overdose of medicine was the cause of her illness.

Indrani had collapsed on Friday afternoon after allegedly swallowing a combination of pills for depression and epilepsy.
According to Indrani's lawyer, Gunjan Mangla, he client never had any suicidal tendency nor did she have any anxiety or depression problem while she was in police custody.
