Last week, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s order on an appeal filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The appeal challenged the special court’s July 19 order allowing Mukerjea, who is out on bail, to travel to Spain and the United Kingdom for 10 days. The special court had directed Mukerjea to report to the Indian embassy or allied diplomatic missions in Spain and the United Kingdom to obtain a presence certificate during her stay.

Mukerjea is being tried for the alleged murder of her 24-year-old daughter Sheena Bora in 2012, which led to her arrest in August 2015. She was released on bail in May 2022. Bora, Mukerjea’s daughter from a previous relationship, was allegedly strangled to death in a moving car in Mumbai by Mukerjea, her driver Shyamvar Rai and her ex-husband Sanjeev Khanna. The prosecution alleges that the body was then burnt in a forest in the neighbouring Raigad district.
