The Bombay High Court has rejected the bail plea of Indrani Mukerjea, who is the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case. Mukerjea's lawyer Sana Khan said they will now move the Supreme Court for bail.

Mukerjea is currently lodged at the Byculla women's prison in Mumbai following her arrest in August 2015. This was her first attempt to seek bail from the high court on the merits of the case. She had been denied bail on multiple occasions by a special CBI court, which is conducting the trial in the murder case. Mukerjea is facing trial for allegedly killing her daughter Sheena Bora.
