While Indrani Mukerjea has been unwell for the past week or so, there has been gradual improvement in her health brought about by daughter Vidhi’s regular visits to prison.
After Indrani fell unconscious on October 2, authorities have become more conscious about her health. Doctors who come to check prisoners every day suggested that she visit J.J. Hospital. Accordingly, over November and December, she was sent for check-up to J.J. more than four times. J.J. Dean T.P. Lahane said, “Indrani came two times for treatment of fever.”
Sources said, “Indrani was feeling very lonely. After Vidhi started meeting her in December, we have seen improvement in her health and levels of daily activity. Vidhi often comes to meet her mother and they chat in the time given to them. Indrani is now much more active and we have seen her feeling better whenever she meets her daughter.”
After the October 2 episode, Indrani lay unconscious in hospital for 15 hours, after which doctors declared her out of danger. According to an inquiry report conducted by jail authorities, Indrani collapsed at Byculla jail due to weakness. At that time, Indrani started receiving treatment for chronic ischemia after her MRI report showed that her problems were due to the disease. However, now, the treatment has been stopped and she is fine.
