Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea, the former media executive who was jailed for allegedly murdering her daughter Sheena Bora, has been discharged from the hospital. She was taken to Mumbai's JJ Hospital on Friday for treatment after she complained of chest pain.

SD Nanandkar, the dean at the hospital, said she was brought to the state-run medical facility at 11:30 pm on Friday with a "history of chest pain and discomfort".

The doctor said Indrani Mukerjea was admitted to the critical care unit of the hospital and underwent a few medical tests. He added that her ECG (electrocardiogram) showed mild changes (in heart rhythm), while her chest X-ray report was normal. He said her condition was not serious.

The 46-year-old co-founder of INX media has been lodged in Byculla women's jail since her arrest in 2015.

This is the second time in two months that she has been admitted to the hospital.
