Jail denies ‘hidden cameras’ in Bedi’s cell

BHOPAL: Amid allegations of hidden cameras being used to film underworld don Abu Salem’s companion Monica Bedi in the Central Jail here, her lawyer on Saturday demanded a high-level probe.

Prison officials, however, refuted the charge.

Jail Superintendent Prashant Somkunwar said there were no hidden cameras in the women’s ward and the reports were false and baseless. “The question of hidden cameras in any bathroom inside the jail does not arise.” He said that there were 10-12 other women prisoners.

Though 12 cameras were fitted at certain places inside the jail to ensure security, none was installed in the women’s ward, Mr. Somkunwar pointed out. Claiming that he had come across reports of cameras allegedly monitoring Ms. Bedi, her lawyer P. C. Bedi said if the charges were true, this was a serious matter because such photographs could be used for “wrong purposes.”

Ms. Bedi is held in connection with a fake passport case. — PTI
