The special CBI court in Mumbai yesterday rejected the interim bail application of Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in the Sheena Bora murder case, for conducting post-death rituals of her father in Assam. <br/><br/>The court however allowed her to attend rituals anywhere in Mumbai, including at her residence, on 27th next week. Indrani's father Upendra Bora died on 15th of this month.<br/><br/>Special judge H S Mahajan said, Indrani shall be taken out of the Byculla jail in the morning under a police escort and brought back to jail by 7 pm. The judge said Indrani will not be allowed to speak to the media during this time. <br/><br/> Indrani had sought interim bail for visiting Assam for the rituals, but CBI opposed her request. The agency produced an e-mail sent by Indrani's son Mikhail to CBI, saying he did not want her to visit Guwahati.<br/><br/>Mikhail, an important witness in the case, said in the mail that his grandfather was bed-ridden for the past one year and he was looking after both his grandparents for the last three years without any financial and psychological support from Indrani. <br/><br/>He said, his grandparents had legally adopted him as their son and he has already commenced the post-death rituals.<br/><br/>CBI also said that Indrani's intention was to influence prosecution witnesses and there was also a possibility that she might try to escape from custody. Indrani's lawyer then said she may be allowed to conduct the rituals in Mumbai.
