Indrani Mukerjea gets bail in Sheena Bora murder case

Indrani Mukerjea, arrested in August 2015 on charges of killing her daughter Sheena Bora three years earlier, was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Wednesday after her 10th attempt to seek bail. Earlier in February 2016, the first bail was sought within six months of her arrest.

In December 2021, Indrani had approached the top court challenging the order of the Bombay high court on November 16 that year denying her bail.

In her plea, the 50-year-old told the top court that the trial would not end soon as 185 out of 253 witnesses in the case are yet to be examined. The plea further stated that since the trial judge hearing her case was on leave from June 7, 2021, till May 4, 2022, the trial would be delayed. She stated she deserved to be released on bail for being a woman and suffering from health issues.
