Falsely implicated in the case: Rhea in her bail plea

Mumbai: Actor Rhea Chakraborty, held in drugs case has alleged in her bail application filed in a Mumbai court that during her interrogation by the NCB, she was "coerced" into making "self-incriminating confessions".
In the plea filed in a session court on Wednesday, Rhea also claimed that she has not committed any crime whatsoever and has been falsely implicated in the case.
Her bail application is scheduled to come up for hearing on Thursday.
The actor, who was arrested in Mumbai by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday, filed this plea after a magistrate court rejected her bail application.
The plea, filed by her lawyer Satish Maneshinde said, "During her NCB custody, the applicant (Rhea) was coerced into making self-incriminating confessions. The actor has formally retracted all such incriminating confessions."
In the plea, she also said that her arrest is "unwarranted and without any justification".
The plea also said that no female officer was present during her interrogation.
Rhea was arrested after three days of questioning by the NCB. She is currently in judicial custody. Besides Rhea's, the bail pleas of other accused, including that of her brother Showik, who was arrested by the NCB last week, will also be heard on Thursday.
Besides Rhea and Showik, the NCB has also arrested Sushant's house manager Samuel Miranda and others on drug supply charges.
