Indrani Mukerjea could walk out of jail on Friday
Former media executive Indrani Mukerjea who was arrested in 2015 for allegedly killing her daughter Sheena Bora in 2012 secured bail in her 10th attempt, on Wednesday. Giving Indrani relief, the Supreme Court said she had already been behind bars for six and half years the trial was not likely to complete any time soon. She is likely to walk out of the Byculla women’s prison on Friday.
Mukerjea moved the SC in November last year after the Bombay High court rejected her bail plea. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, who represented her, told the top court that there are 237 prosecution witnesses of which only 68 have been examined so far. Rohatgi cited past judgments of the apex court to seek bail on the grounds of delay in the trial. He also argued that Peter Mukerjea, another accused in the case, was given bail by the HC in February 2020.
