'Most of the 40 inmates are asymptomatic. They were shifted to the isolation centre of the prison at Patankar School in Byculla in Central Mumbai as a precautionary measure'
Of the 181 inmates who tested positive for the virus, 177 have fully recovered.
Indrani said that one of her inmates in Byculla prison has told her that she had spotted Sheena in Kashmir some time ago.
Poet-activist Varavara Rao, 81, is the only accused in the case to have secured an interim bail. The Bombay high court had in February this year granted Rao conditional bail for six months considering his medical condition. Rao had been in jail since his arrest in August 2018.
Speaking to ANI, Khan said, "I have been informed by my client Indrani Mukherjea (mother and prime accused in this murder case) that a lady officer (inmate) has informed her that she met Sheena Bora on June 24 near Dal Lake."
While the trial of the Sheena Bora murder case is far from over, the story has seen some bizarre turns and twists so far.
The friends and relatives of 16 accused, including Hany Babu, Stan Swamy and Sudha Bharadwaj, made the demand during a virtual press conference.
They also demanded action against officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is conducting a probe into the Elgar Parishad case, and former superintendent of the Taloja jail.
The court also asked her not to indulge in any activity 'similar to the activities on the basis' of which a first information report (FIR) has been registered against her for offences under the Indian Penal Code and the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act).
Here are the latest updates in the Indrani case after she was rushed to hospital after an alleged over dose in prison
The Bombay high court on Friday said all prisoners had a fundamental right to access their own medical records.
Mukerjea, who was admitted in the state-run J J Hospital for the treatment of suspected drug overdose has been brought back to the jail, Inspector General (prisons) Rajvardhan Sinha said.
On Tuesday, after spending five days in Mumbai's JJ Hospital, she was discharged and shifted back to Byculla prison.
Indrani, who is lodged in the Byculla prison, is among the 200 inmates against whom a case was on Sunday registered for rioting, unlawful assembly, assault on public servant and other relevant sections under the Indian Penal Code, a police official said.
Karti and Mukerjea were brought face-to-face and questioned by the CBI team for about four hours.
Sources said Mukerjea was arrested for 'shielding the accused' and 'inconsistencies' in his statements
Indrani also claimed that she was threatened of sexual assault after the death of a convict sparked protest in the prison.
"There was no overdose, nor any poison. Her condition could have worsened as she had briefly stopped taking medicines and was suffering from weakness," said Inspector General of Prisons Bipin Kumar Singh.
'I have strong reasons to believe that Accused number 4 (A4) Pratim Mukerjea with the assistance of other persons, including Accused no 3 (A3) turned approver Shyamwar Pinturam Rai may have conspired and abducted my daughter Sheena in 2012 and made her untraceable and subsequently destroyed evidence.'
Pasbola wound up his cross examination, tabling a new narrative in the murder case. That Sheena Bora had been murdered not by her mother. But by her brother.
