NDTV
Ms Mukerjea talked that the women in Byculla prison possessed an extraordinary absence of malice towards each other.
It has been over a year since INX Media chief executive officer Indrani Mukerjea walked out of the Byculla women's jail in Mumbai. She spent nearly seven years in prison for allegedly murdering her daughter Sheena Bora in April 2012. Now, an Instagram handle, believed to be that of Ms Mukerjea's, talked about her struggles in prison and how women inmates there showed her the "true essence" of support and camaraderie.
The caption of the post read, "In the depths of confinement, women showed me the true essence of support and camaraderie."
In the lengthy Instagram post, she wrote, "Last night I stayed awake and kept thinking about the corridors of the Byculla Undertrial Prison. My heart was filled with empathy for the innocent women in captivity. The suffocation of being in prison, incarcerated for something you haven't done is hell of a kind I wish upon nobody. But I can't deny, in my darkest days, I found inner peace too."
Ms Mukerjea talked that the women in Byculla prison possessed an extraordinary absence of malice towards each other. "Behind the cold iron bars, I observed something truly captivating. While people in the outside world often mask their true emotions, women in this secluded realm danced with genuine joy for one another."
