Mumbai: Actress Rhea Chakraborty, arrested over drugs-related charges in Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput death case, has said in her bail request that she was coerced into making self-incriminatory confessions, which she now retracts.
She has also said her life is at risk in judicial custody, that she has received rape and death threats and that three investigations have “taken a severe toll on her mental health and well-being”.
Her petition says she has not committed any crime whatsoever and has been falsely implicated in the case.
“During her custody, the applicant was coerced into making self-incriminatory confessions. By her application dated September 8, the applicant has formally retracted all such incriminatory confessions,” it said.
Stating that her arrest was ‘unwarranted and without any justification,’ it added that her liberty was arbitrarily curtailed and that no female officer was present during her interrogation.
It further said she had no access to any legal advice during her questioning when she was interrogated for a minimum of eight hours at a stretch by multiple male officers.
