Indrani Mukherjea remains critical in hospital

Dr T P Lahane, Dean of state run J J Hospital said that Indrani has not regained consciousness as yet and that doctors are trying hard to revive her from her deep slumber.

 Indrani Mukherjea, prime accused in the murder case of her daughter Sheena Bora, continues to remain critical, but is responding to treatment, hospital authorities said on Sunday.
Dr T P Lahane, Dean of state run J J Hospital said that Indrani has not regained consciousness as yet and that doctors are trying hard to revive her from her deep slumber.
"She has not regained consciousness yet but we are trying our best. Indrani is still critical but is responding to treatment. We are closely monitoring her vital parameters," Lahane told PTI this morning.
He said that Mukherjea, though not on ventilator support, is still being provided with oxygen because she is not able to breath automatically.
Dr Lahane had Saturday said a report on Indrani's urine samples from Hinduja Hospital laboratory confirmed that level of benzodiazepine-an anti-depressant-was found raised.
"Normally if a patient is on antidepressant drug the level of benzodiazepine in urine is 200. But the level of benzodiazepine is 2088 as per the Hinduja report. The report is positive for drug overdose. Anti-epileptic drugs have already been ruled out. The (test) has come negative. It is only the anti-depressant that has caused the thing (collapse)," he had said.
Wife of media baron Peter Mukerjea, Indrani was arrested by Khar Police on August 25 for her alleged role in the murder of Sheena, her daughter from an earlier marriage, in 2012.
Indrani's daughter Sheena, 24, was allegedly kidnapped from outside National College in Bandra and strangled to death in a car by Indrani, her former husband Sanjeev Khanna and driver Shyamvar Rai.
Indrani's lawyer moved a local court seeking permission to meet her in the hospital and the court sought a re-report on her health condition.
