Indrani Mukerjea's hospitalisation may be due to drug overdose, say doctors of Mumbai's JJ Hospital; probe launched

However, quoting sources at the hospital, India Today reported that Indrani's condition has stabilised and that she was shifted to the critical care unit from the emergency ward. She is currently under observation.

This is Indrani’s second such hospitalisation since being lodged in the jail. In 2015, she was admitted to the same hospital in a semi-conscious condition after a suspected overdose of anti-depressant pills.

Indrani, who is also an accused in the INX Media case, is currently undergoing trial for the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora in April 2012, along with her husband and ex-media tycoon Peter Mukerjea and her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna.

Her former driver Shyamwar Rai, who was one of the prime accused, turned an approver after he approached the court saying that he wanted to "disclose all truths". Rai has claimed to have taken part in Sheena's killing by strangulation and that he was present at the time of the murder in 2012.
