Underworld don Abu Salem's girlfriend Monica Bedi, who is facing a criminal case for obtaining a passport under a fictitious name from the Regional passport office in Hyderabad, was remanded in judicial custody till November 25 by a special CBI court on Saturday afternoon.
Bedi, who was brought to Hyderabad on Friday night on transit remand and kept at the CBI office, was produced before C V Subramanyam, judge for special court for CBI cases, at his residence at Marredpally around 1510 IST.
The judge asked her if she had to say anything for which she replied in the negative.
