This is Mukerjea's second visit to hospital within 5 days
"After initial treatment, she was admitted to the hospital's cardiac care unit in view of hypotension with neurovascular problem," Surase said. This is her second hospital visit in a span of five days. On Monday, she had complained of restlessness, headache, and double vision, he added. The former media executive was also hospitalized for treatment of suspected drug overdose in April.
Backstory: Mukerjea killed her daughter in April 2012
Mukerjea, estranged wife of Peter Mukerjea, ex-Indian television executive, is accused of killing her 24-year-old daughter Sheena in April 2012. She was helped by others and financial dispute was one of the reasons behind it, according to the CBI. The murder came to light in August 2015 after Mukerjea's former driver, arrested for possession of a firearm, told police about it during his interrogation.
