It has been alleged in Rhea’s application that during her questioning which ran into more than 8 hours at a stretch on September 6,7 and 8 by the NCB, she was coerced into making self-incriminatory confessions. Moreover, multiple male officers of the NCB interrogated her and there was not a single lady officer who interrogated her, the application contends.
