Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, will appear before a Delhi court on May 23 where she has moved a plea to turn approver in the INX Media case. Indrani Mukerjea is currently lodged in the Byculla jail here and facing trial in a CBI court for allegedly killing her daughter Sheena. The CBI on Friday moved an application before Judge J C Jagadale requesting him to issue suitable directions to jail authorities for her production in a Delhi court on May 23.

The judge said Indrani Mukerjea is required to be present before the court in Delhi as a production warrant is issued against her. He then directed the Byculla jail superintendent to transfer her custody to CBI officers. Besides her and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, the name of the latter’s son Karti has also cropped up in the ₹305 crore case relating to FIPB approval granted in 2007 for receipt of funds by INX Media. The CBI had registered an FIR in the case on May 15, 2017.
