Indrani Mukerjea was arrested in August 2015 after the murder of Sheena Bora came to light. She walked out of jail in May 2022 on being granted bail by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court had granted Mukerjea bail on May 18, 2022, saying her time in prison was too long a term and the trial in the case won't be completed anytime soon. She has throughout denied the murder charge.
The Bombay High Court has dismissed the plea filed by Central Bureau of Investigation seeking stay on the release The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth, a docuseries by Netflix.
The Bombay High Court said in its order that its special screening should first be done in front of the High Court, CBI and lawyers.
The series is based on Indrani Mukherjee's memoir 'Unbroken: The Untold Story', which was published in 2023. In her book, former media personality Indrani Mukherjee talks about her entire life, including the six years she spent in jail.
A special court in Mumbai asked the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to secure the CCTV footage of Guwahati airport and find out the identity of the girl who allegedly looked like Sheena.
The court will hear the matter further on December 21. Indrani Mukerjea is a prime accused in the murder case of her daughter Sheena Bora. The murder came to light in 2015, three years after Sheena (24) was allegedly killed by her mother Indrani with the help of two other accused in April 2012.
More than six years after she was arrested for allegedly murdering her daughter Sheena (24) in April 2012, the Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bail to Mukerjea (50), and directed the trial court here to finalize bail conditions.
In her letter, Mukerjea has claimed that Sheena Bora is in Kashmir and that the agency should look for her in the Valley.
The prison authorities were asking her to wear the convict's uniform of green saree even though she was only an under-trial accused, Mukerjea said in her petition.
Both are accused in the Sheena Bora murder case and are in jail under judicial custody since their arrest in 2015. While Indrani is lodged in Byculla women's prison, Peter Mukerjea has been kept at the nearby Arthur Road jail in central Mumbai.
Indrani Mukerjea and her husband Peter Mukerjea are former promoters of the INX Media Group.
Mukerjea and husband Peter Mukerjea were the promoters of INX Media, and are both currently in jail facing trial in the murder of her 24-year-old daughter Sheena Bora from a previous marriage. Both the murder case and the corruption part of the INX Media case are being investigated by CBI. In addition, the Enforcement Directorate is investigating the money laundering aspect.
Mukerjea, who was granted pardon in the case by the court on July 4, appeared before special judge Arun Bhardwaj and accepted the conditions put on her.
Indrani, lodged in Mumbai's Byculla prison, in her application had mentioned two occasions when she was hospitalised -- once for suspected drug overdose and again in April when she complained of difficulty in breathing.
Mukerjea said she was on a rigorous medication regimen, which was not the case earlier, and that she was suffering from a severe headache, black-outs and a neurological condition.
The former media executive was also hospitalised for treatment of suspected drug overdose in April.
As per the legal procedure prescribed for consensual divorce, Principal Judge Shailaja Sawant referred the couple to a counsellor.
In April, Indrani underwent a brain MRI scan and other tests after she collapsed inside her jail cell.
In the notice sent on April 25, Indrani also seeks an amicable financial settlement from Peter Mukerjea before April 30, so that the procedure to dissolve the marriage can be initiated.
