Indrani Mukerjea, who is lodged in Arthur Road jail on charges of murdering her daughter Sheena Bora, was admitted to the JJ Hospital in south Mumbai's Byculla late on Friday.
She was brought to the hospital in a "drowsy state" last night, sources said and was later shifted to the critical care unit of the hospital.
Indrani Mukerjea has undergone an array of tests including liver and kidney function tests, CT scan of her brain and an ultra sound of her abdomen among others. She will be taken in for an MRI scan in some time.
Although her tests reports are still awaited, Ms Mukerjea has been shifted to the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Prior to this, in October 2015, she was admitted to the same hospital in an unconscious state following an overdose of pills.
In 2007, Indrani Mukerjea and her husband Peter Mukerjea set up the INX network but sold their stake two years later amid allegations of embezzlement. The Enforcement Director alleged that in 2008 Karti Chidambaram helped the husband and wife get clearance for foreign investment worth nearly 300 crores in their venture, for which he allegedly received kickbacks.
Peter and Indrani Mukerjea are currently lodged in Arthur Road jail, undergoing trial for the murder of Sheena Bora. Sheena Bora was abducted and murdered in 2012, allegedly by her mother Indrani Mukerjea, Indrani's ex husband Sanjeev Khanna, driver Shyamvar Rai in conspiracy with Peter Mukerjea.
