Salem shocked at Monica's conviction

Press Trust Of India

Mumbai: Extradited gangster Abu Salem was on Friday shocked to hear the conviction of his companion Monica Bedi by a Hyderabad court in a passport forgery case.

As Salem was produced before the TADA court, hearing 1993 bomb blast case, CBI prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam informed the judge P D Kode that the Bollywod starlet Monica Bedi had been sentenced to five years' jail term in the forgery case.

Salem appeared to be shocked and looked nervously at the prosecutor. Sporting an off-white half sleeve shirt and a dark navy blue jeans, Salem, however, did not say a word but lent a patient ear to the prosecutor's address to the court about Monica's conviction.

Earlier, Salem had pleaded before the judge to allow him face the trial in Hyderabad first and other cases later but the court told him that 1993 bomb blast case would be given the top priority.
