Mumbai: Indrani Mukerjea, accused of murdering her daughter, is no longer in critical condition, said doctors at the hospital where she was moved after an alleged suicide attempt in a Mumbai prison.
On Friday afternoon, Ms Mukerjea, 43 -- a former media executive arrested in August for allegedly murdering her daughter Sheena Bora three years ago -- collapsed after allegedly swallowing a combination of pills for depression and epilepsy.
But doctors today said that lab reports show there was no overdose. They told reporters that she is conscious now. "Her condition is good, we will observe her for 24 to 48 hours and then discharge her," said TP Lahane, dean of JJ Hospital.
While a hospital lab said there were signs of an attempted overdose, results from a forensic lab said the opposite, causing significant confusion. As it is, jail officials are unable to explain how Ms Mukerjea, who had been prescribed pills after being arrested, had managed to accrue the stash that led to her collapse.
Ms Mukerjea, who is married to former media mogul Peter Mukerjea, is charged with killing her daughter along with an ex-husband, Sanjeev Khanna, and a former driver. She founded broadcasting group INX Media with Mr Mukerjea in 2007.
