INX Media channel co-founder, Indrani Mukerjea, was released on bail from Byculla women's prison in Mumbai on May 18, 2022, after spending seven years behind bars. Her former husband, Peter Mukerjea, was aware of the conspiracy.

During an interview with India Today TV on March 2, 2024, Indrani Mukerjea elaborated on how she was being "framed" and thus, falsely accused of the crime.

She stated:
"It could be financial, it could be personal...I don't know what goes on in somebody else's head... There were a lot of things that happened on the day of my arrest and after my arrest that made me believe over a period that definitely I was framed."
Indrani made a revelation in a documentary series that Sheena Bora was her daughter, not her sister. Indrani also revealed that she herself was s*xually assaulted by her biological father, resulting in the conception of Sheena.
She added:
"The only person who knew about it (Sheena being Indrani's daughter) in Peter's family as far as I've communicated is Peter...Of course, he knew about it....That is something, which I think there is enough evidence to back that up."
Indrani continued:
"No matter how hard anyone tries, they will never be able to bring evidence against me only because they cannot prove a crime that I haven't committed."
