Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in daughter Sheena Bora's murder and former head of INX media, was admitted to the J.J. Hospital in Byculla late on Friday.

According to media reports, doctor said that she was rushed to the emergency ward in a delirious condition. Indrani, is currently lodged in Mumbai's Byculla jail on the charges of murder of her daughter Sheena.

The murder of 24-year-old Sheena Bora came to light in August 2015 after Rai, arrested for illegal possession of a firearm, told police about the 2012 murder of Sheena Bora, Indrani's daughter from an earlier relationship.

Subsequently Mumbai police arrested Indrani Mukerjea, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna, and Rai himself in the Sheena murder case. Rai later turned approver (prosecution witness). Sheena, Indrani's daughter from an earlier relationship, was allegedly murdered in April 2012. Indrani's husband Peter Mukerjea, a former media baron, was also arrested in the case.

According to the CBI, which took over the case later, dispute over financial transactions led to Sheena's murder.
