- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Indrani Mukerjea was rushed to state- run J. J. Hospital on Friday night in a drowsy state. She has been shifted to the CCU She is guarded by two police constables outside the unit. Indrani underwent an array of tests including liver and kidney function tests, CT scan of her brain and an ultrasound of abdomen among others. Her vital parameters are normal. MRI scans results are awaited, said the medical superinten­dent of the hospital.

Talking to The Asian Age, Medical superinten­dent Dr Sanjay Surase said,

“Indrani was brought in at 11.15 pm in a drowsy state. She underwent blood tests and a physical examinatio­n before being admitted to the CCU. Her stomach wash has been sent for analysis, her reports are awaited.”

When asked about her health conditions, Dr Surase said, “Her vital parameters are stable, she is under treatment of Dr Wiqar Shaikh and her reports are pending.” This is Indrani’s second such hospitalis­ation since being lodged in the Byculla women’s prison. In October 2015 she was rushed to J. J hospital in a semi- conscious condition after a suspected drugoverdo­se. At that time, she was hospitalis­ed for nearly a week, while conflictin­g reports arose on what led to her hospitalis­ation.

Indrani is accused of murdering her daughter Sheena Bora. Sheena was allegedly abducted and murdered on April 24, 2012, by mother Indrani, along with her former husband Sanjeev Khanna, driver Shyamvar Rai, in conspiracy with Peter Mukerjea. Sheena’s body was disposed of on April 25, 2012, at a deserted spot in Raigad. Rai was arrested on August 21, 2015, in an illegal arms case and he later spilled the beans.
