Sporting a spotless white kurti-churidar, her hair dyed jet black, a beaming Indrani Mukerjea stepped out of the Byculla women’s prison on Friday evening. “Today I just want to look at the sky at night. I haven’t seen the night sky for the past 6.5 years,” said the former media executive at her Worli home, two days after the Supreme Court granted her bail in the Sheen Bora murder case.

Her legal team dropped the release order at 3 pm and it was opened at 3.30 pm by the prison officials. Before stepping out of the jail, she spent some time at the beauty parlour at the prison. The moment she stepped out of the prison, she waved to the posse of journalists waiting for her. “I am very happy today,” she said.
