After 80 months' jail, murder-accused Indrani Mukerjea walks out on bail
On stepping out of Byculla Womens Jail, Indrani - appearing relaxed, smart in a white salwar-suit, make-up and her gray locks well-coiffed - got into a waiting dark car along with a woman lawyer to be driven home.
Facing a volley of questions from the battery of media assembled there, she merely smiled and said: "Khula aasman dekha bahut khushi hui (I saw the open skies and felt very happy)" as the car sped off.
Indrani - the prime accused in the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora - added she was feeling better but had not made any future plans after getting enlarged on bail.
The Supreme Court granted her bail of Rs 200,000 on Wednesday - 80 months after Mumbai Police arrested her on August 25, 2015 - after the judges observed that (6.5 years) is a long time.
