New Delhi:
Sheena Bora murder accused Indrani Mukerjea, who was admitted to South Mumbai's JJ Hospital in a drowsy state in late night on Friday, underwent a series of medical tests including CT scan, ultrasound and MRI.
The scans showed small vessel changes due to her age and blood pressure related issues while a serum acetylcholinesterase blood test pointed towards poisoning or drug overdose.
"Indrani was brought here in disoriented condition. Tests have been done. Preliminary tests point towards poisoning or drug overdose. We're waiting for reports," ANI quoted SD Nanandkar, Dean of JJ Hospital.
According to reports, Indrani was rushed to the emergency ward of the JJ hospital post 11:30 pm on Friday and was later shifted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) owing to her serious condition. Though her vitals were normal, she was in an altered level of consciousness.
