"Will the CBI be responsible for the loss of my life?" Indrani Mukerjea, a prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, asked a special court here during the hearing of her bail application Tuesday.
Mukerjea, whose bail plea was rejected on two previous occasions, had moved a fresh plea last week on health grounds before Special CBI judge J C Jagdale.
Responding to an argument of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), she said, "I am innocent till proven guilty. I have served three years in jail without committing any crime. This has taken a toll on my health. Will the CBI be responsible for the loss of my life?"
Responding to the same, Mukerjea said, "The prosecution says.... they (Indrani-Peter Mukerjea) have filed a divorce application in the family court, so there is no family member to look after her (Indrani). It is my lookout as to how many caretakers and bodyguards I want to hire. Divorce is my personal matter, the prosecution should not interfere."
Countering her argument, the CBI counsel said, "We are not denying her medical condition. But the procedural delays cannot be treated as personal delay."
