Life behind bars has not dimmed underworld don Abu Salem's attraction towards actress and former lover Monia Bedi as he once again publicly said on Wednesday that she was his wife, a claim which has been refuted by her on several occasions. "Monica Bedi is my wife," said the gangster, who has been in jail for three years, while coming out of a Delhi court.
Sharma, who earlier reserved the order on September 3, rejected arguments made by prosecution, saying the prosecution failed to substantiate the charge of fraudulently preparing the passport in 2001
After hearing a petition by Bedi's uncle Purushotham Lal Bedi, through a Delhi-based lawyer, CBI Judge C V Subramanyam directed the Chanchalguda Jail Superintendent to allow him to meet Bedi before 10:30 AM on Thursday if she was willing.
The judge also permitted the advocate to meet Bedi, lodged in Chanchalguda central prison, before 5 pm today.
