Monica hearing postponed

Bhopal, Dec 20 (UNI) A local court today failed to conduct a hearing in a fake passports case, in which underworld don Abu Salem and his starlet-girlfriend Monica Bedi stand accused, as the chief judicial magistrate was on leave.

Monica was not brought to court as Mr Raveendra Singh was on leave. January 3, 2007 is the next date of hearing in the case.

Advocate P C Bedi is the defence counsel.

On November 28, 2001, a case was registered at the Koh-i-Fiza Police Station against Salem, his wife Samira Jumani and Monica for having fake passports made at the regional passport office using the names Danish Baig, Rubina Baig and Fauzia Osman respectively.
