Monica Bedi, former actress and girlfriend of gangster Abu Salem was released from prison on bail. She was arrested on charges of using fake passports. The Hyderabad police released her early this morning, the 25th of July.

Monica Bedi was given a bail by the Supreme Court in May this year on one of the charges of passport forgery. But there still was a case of forgery against her in Bhopal High Court. The bail that was granted by the Supreme Court had very strict conditions.

She then approached the Court again stating that she isn't in a position to submit her original passport because she had lost it when she was arrested in Portugal. The passport authorities have issued orders to cancel the passport. She was given a five year imprisonment sentence by Hyderabad High Court because in one of her fake passports, she had claimed that she was the resident of Kurnool, AP. The sentence was later reduced to 3 years.

That sentence too now stands reduced and the former actress has finally got bail on lighter conditions.
