Former media honcho Indrani Mukerjea, accused of killing her daughter Sheena Bora, is alleged to have attempted suicide by consuming pills in jail on Friday.

Indrani, wife of former STAR India CEO Peter Mukerjea, was rushed to government-run JJ Hospital in south Mumbai in an unconscious state Friday afternoon. She was hospitalised after drug overdose with doctors describing her condition as "serious", leading to speculation that she might have attempted suicide.

"Indrani is in a semi conscious state and will be under treatment and observation at the hospital for three more days," TP Lahane, Dean of JJ hospital told PTI this morning.

"Necessary blood and urine tests were carried out and a team of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials was also briefed on her medical condition," another doctor at the hospital said.
