Indrani Mukerjea, a key accused in the 2012 murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, has filed a fresh plea seeking court permission to travel abroad for pending bank work in Spain and the UK. The Supreme Court previously rejected her request, citing concerns over her return, and directed the trial court to decide on the matter within four weeks. The case, investigated by the CBI, involves multiple accused, all currently out on bail, with proceedings ongoing in a special court.
