Kurnur:An old case involving actress Monica Bedi, known for her connection to the underworld Don Abu Salem, has resurfaced on social and news media platforms, attracting new public attention.
The case dates back to April 2001, linking the controversial documents to Pellakuru Krishnamohan Reddy, who was Tahsildar at Kurnool, and later became an official of former Chief Minister YS Jagan Jagan Mohan Mohan Reddy.
Krishnamohan Reddy allegedly issued a residence certificate under the name of Sana Malik Kamal, an alias used by Monica Bedi, and she resides on Babu Gounda Street in Kurnool. With this certificate, Bedi is able to obtain an Indian passport in a false identity.
The case is linked to a larger ethnic controversy more than two decades ago, when Monica, who was charged with the 1993 Mumbai bombing, fell into Portugal in 2002. Both were arrested and expelled from India, attracting widespread media attention. It was later revealed that the fraudulent passport application originated in Kurnool, leading to a bureau of a town police station, and subsequently participated in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Sources said Krishnamohan Reddy was questioned by the CBI, although he later approved the case. He reportedly claimed that the certificate of residence was issued based on a live report submitted by then-tax inspector Nandikotkur.
Krishnamohan Reddy’s recent arrest in the ongoing alcohol scam case has re-caused discussions about his alleged misconduct, so the issue has become popular again.
Interestingly, the police chiefs of Kurnool, PSR Anjaneyulu and N. Sanjay, who were then in Kurnool in 2001-02, also faced charges and were charged in various other cases.
