Sheena was allegedly strangled in a car, then her body was burnt before being dumped in the forest.
Indrani was recently hospitalised after her platelet count dipped drastically. However, doctors at J J hospital had later made it clear that she had not contracted dengue, as suspected.
On October 2, Indrani was taken to J J Hospital from Byculla womens' prison in an unconscious state, fuelling speculation that she had overdosed on anti-depressant drugs. But a probe by Inspector General (Prisons) ruled out the possibility of drug overdose, poisoning or suicide bid.
On October 6, she was discharged from the hospital and sent back to jail.
