Former media tycoon Indrani Mukerjea, accused of murdering her daughter Sheena Bora, is expected to remain in a hospital in Mumbai for three more days after overdosing on anti-epileptic drugs in a suspected suicide bid.
Mukerjea, 43, was rushed from prison to JJ Hospital in Byculla on Friday after reportedly overdosing on the drugs. There were reports that she was upset over her mother’s death on Thursday.
“Indrani Mukerjea is semi-conscious now. We will give her three days to recover fully,” TP Lahane, the dean of JJ Hospital, told the media on Saturday.
“Her respiration is not normal until now, and until that happens, we won’t say she is out of danger,” he said.
Lahane said Indrani’s stomach wash was collected and will be sent for forensic analysis to determine if she consumed drugs. He ruled out opium poisoning and said the results of more tests were awaited.
“We suspect that she might have collected the drugs instead of taking them daily and consumed them at one go,” hospital dean Dr TP Lahane said. “Her MRI report is normal. We have sent her stomach wash for forensic testing.”
