Sheena Bora murder case accused Indrani Mukerjea's lawyer filed an application in the special Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) Court in Mumbai, claiming that she has been assaulted by Byculla jail authorities.

Her lawyer said in her application that bruise marks can be seen on Mukerjea's body all over after being beaten up by Jail staff.

The special CBI court has ordered to produce Indrani Mukerjea in the court tomorrow.

Reportedly, over 200 women inmates, including Mukherjee, have been booked for rioting and criminal conspiracy inside the Mumbai's Byculla jail.

The Nagpada police filed an FIR against six women prison staffers, including a jailor, for the murder of Manjula Shetye a 31-year-old convict inside the jail.

A case of murder has been registered in this case.
