Media magnate Indrani Mukherjea, prime accused in the sensational murder case of her daughter Sheena Bora, today regained consciousness and is "out of danger", hospital authorities said today, two days after she was rushed from jail in a serious condition.
"She is out of danger. She is now conscious. She is drowsy. When you ask her, she responds by oral command. We have just given her water to drink and she has consumed it. Her condition is better," Dr T P Lahane, Dean of state run J J Hospital told reporters here, adding, "within 48 hours we will discharge her."
43-year-old Indrani was rushed to JJ hospital from Byculla jail on Friday afternoon in an unconscious condition after she allegedly overdosed on anti-depressant pills.
"We will keep her under observation for the next 24-48 hours," said Lahane.
Wife of media baron Peter Mukerjea, Indrani was arrested by Khar Police on August 25 for her alleged role in the murder of Sheena, her daughter from an earlier marriage, in 2012.
Indrani's daughter Sheena, 24, was allegedly kidnapped from outside National College in Bandra and strangled to death in a car by Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai.
