Special court allows Indrani Mukerjea to turn approver in INX Media case

A special court on Thursday pardoned jailed-media baron Indrani Mukerjea in the INX Media corruption case and allowed her to turn approver to support the prosecution case in which former Union Minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti are accused.

The court also issued a warrant requiring the presence of Mukerjea on July 11 to go through the relevant documents about her turning an approver in the case and give her consent.

She is currently lodged in Byculla jail, Mumbai, in her daughter Sheena Bora’s murder case. Her husband Peter Mukerjea, the company’s founder, is also in jail in the same case. They are facing trial for allegedly conspiring to kill Bora, Indrani’s daughter from an earlier relationship, in April 2012.
