Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea, one of the three prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, has been struck by dengue fever, Byculla Women’s prison authorities informed a Metropolitan Magistrate court here on Wednesday. We have informed the court that Mukerjea is suffering from suspected dengue and her platelet levels have gone down to 65, 000,” a jail official said. He further said that doctors from JJ hospital are attending to Indrani in the prison and if it is imperative to admit her, then she will be taken to the hospital.
The jail officer’s report, submitted to Magistrate RV Adone, came after the court yesterday directed the prison authorities to produce Indrani in view of the application made by CBI seeking her voice samples. The central probe agency had told the court yesterday that it had got hold of some call records which purportedly featured her voice, and therefore it wanted her voice sample for verification.
Earlier this month, traces of cocaine were found in the urine samples of Indrani, who is lodged in a Maharashtra jail. On September 07, a fortnight after their arrest and prolonged interrogation, the court had remanded Indrani and Rai to judicial custody till September 21, which was later extended till October 5 and further up to October 19.
Indrani, Khanna and Rai have been arrested on the charge of murdering 24-year-old Sheena and disposing off her body in a Raigad forest in April 2012. The police had exhumed remains of a body from Raigad forest and later claimed that digital superimposition of the profile of Sheena had matched with the skull recovered from the forest.
