Indrani Mukerjea

Vidhie Mukerjea, daughter of ex-couple Indrani and Peter Mukerjea currently in London, has moved an application before a special CBI court in Mumbai seeking permission to stay with her mother in Mumbai after she returns to India.

Vidhie claimed she was deprived of her mother's companionship as a minor when Indrani Mukerjea was arrested in 2015, in connection with her daughter Sheena Bora's murder, and the separation has affected her "emotional well-being".

Vidhie has been living in London for several years. She is returning to India on September 10, as per her application.

Indrani, the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, is currently out on bail.

In the plea, moved through advocate Ranjeet Sangle, Vidhie said she was a minor when her mother was arrested in 2015 and has been deprived of her mother's companionship, love and warmth since the day of her arrest and has not been with her for the last seven years.

This has seriously affected the emotional well-being of the applicant, it said, adding that Vidhie is now finding it extremely difficult to cope with the separation and hence she is desirous of being able to freely communicate and live with her mother as and when she wishes to.

The plea further said that Indrani Mukerjea is suffering from irreversible cerebral ischemia, she is frail and requires proper personal and medical care, which the applicant would like to provide to the best of her ability and time.

Indrani Mukerjea has no family apart from the applicant, in Mumbai, it added. -- PTI
