The Supreme Court Wednesday granted bail to former media executive Indrani Mukerjea, who was arrested in connection with the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, media reports said.
“We are granting bail to Indrani Mukerjea. 6.5 years is too long a time,” Mukerjea said as quoted by NDTV.
Mukerjea was facing trial for the murder of her 25-year-old daughter from her first marriage Sheena.
Mukerjea, who was arrested in 2015 after the case came to light, is accused of murdering Sheena with the help of her driver Shyamvar Rai and former husband Sanjeev Khanna.
The probe officials say Mukerjea was angry at Sheena for having a relationship with her husband Peter Mukerji’s son from his earlier marriage, Rahul Mukerjea.
Sheena was missing for three years since the murder.
As per reports, Indrani had always pretended that Sheena was her sister who had moved to the United States.
