Order on bail plea filed by Rhea Chakraborty expected today
Mumbai, Sep 11: A special court in Mumbai is likely to deliver its verdict on the bail application filed by actor Rhea Chakraborty, who was held in a drug case linked to her boyfriend and actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
The court which reserved its verdict on Thursday is also expected to deliver its judgment on whether Rhea's brother Showik will be granted bail.
In her bail plea, she has alleged in her bail application that during her interrogation by the NCB, she was "coerced" into making "self-incriminating confessions".

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
actor's
liberty
has
arbitrarily
been
curtailed,"
it
added.
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.
The NCB had earlier said that Rhea, in her statement revealed about her involvement in the procurement of drugs and financial transactions and also her instructions to other accused, Samuel Miranda, Sushant's domestic help Dipesh Sawant and Showik in this regard.
"Therefore, it is clear from her statement that Rhea is an active member of the drug syndicate connected with drug supplies," the agency said.
The NCB had said that the actress has revealed that she used to procure drugs for Sushant for consumption purpose. She also used to manage finances for drug procurement along with the late actor, it added.
The NCB is probing the drug angle in this case under criminal sections of the NDPS Act after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) shared with it a report following the cloning of two mobile phones of Rhea.
