thebalanced.newsCourt Denies Indrani Mukerjea's Foreign Travel Request in Sheena Bora Case
A special court in Mumbai denied Indrani Mukerjea's plea to travel to the UK and Spain, citing concerns she remains a flight risk amid the ongoing Sheena Bora murder trial. Indrani, a UK national accused of murdering her daughter, sought permission to access dormant bank accounts and update her will abroad, citing financial hardship. The court noted the trial is nearing conclusion with few witnesses left. Separately, the court allowed the CBI to submit transcripts of calls involving Indrani, Peter, and Rahul Mukerjea as evidence in the case.
