The CBI filed its reply to Indrani Mukerjea's plea that claimed her daughter Sheena Bora, whom she is accused of killing, was alive. The details of the probe agency's response, which was filed before special CBI judge AS Sayyad, however, were not known as yet.

Last month, Mukerjea had, in an 8-page application, sought the court to direct the CBI, the prosecution, to file an affidavit in response to her claims. She had also sought to know if the Central Bureau of Investigation had taken any steps to ascertain her claims that Sheena Bora was alive.
