Monica Bedi's conviction upheld, sentence reduced




The Supreme Court Tuesday upheld the conviction of Bollywood actress Monica Bedi in a passport forgery case, but reduced the sentence to the imprisonment already undergone.

Monica Bedi was caught in Portugal for travelling on a false passport to the name of Sana Malik Kamal. She was sentenced to five years of imprisonment by the trial court in Hyderabad which was reduced to three years by Andhra Pradesh High Court.

Monica Bedi faced another passport forgery case in Bhopal where she was accused of having allegedly procured a passport in the name of Fauzia Usman. In this case, she was acquitted by the trial court July 17, 2007.

She has already undergone two years and six months imprisonment.
