Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, has sought bail citing ill health. Indrani has been in jail since September 7, 2015.

Last week, the CBI informed a special court that Indrani Mukerjea had given a statement in jail in December 2015 about having allegedly informed her husband Peter Mukerjea that she had murdered her daughter Sheena Bora, on the same night that the crime had been committed. Peter's lawyer argued in court Saturday, however, that such a statement could not be trusted and that he had nothing to do with the murder conspiracy.

Indrani, her ex husband Sanjeev Khanna, driver Shyamvar Rai and Peter are all in judicial custody.
