Former media baron, Indrani Mukerjea, who spent six years behind bars for her alleged role in the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, and is out on bail since May last year, has initiated an outreach programme for women released from prison. Mukerjea has collaborated with NGO Insaniyat, founded by Arjun Dattaji Meghe, which has been helping underprivileged women in Worli and the surrounding areas, to provide vocational training programme and livelihood opportunities for former prisoners. The rehabilitation and empowerment initiative, which will involve training women to make candles, incense sticks, bags and other decorative items, was launched at the Ambadevi Mandir Trust Hall in Worli, on Saturday.
