The CBI was trying to find out about the people whom Monica and Salem contacted in Hyderabad and Kurnool to obtain passports in fictitious names and addresses.
Bedi was extradited in two cases, both passport forgery cases in Hyderabad and Bhopal. A court in Mumbai on Friday had granted a two-day transit remand for taking her to Hyderabad.
Dozens of policemen have been posted outside the Kendriya Sadan building housing the CBI office. Entry to the complex was restricted and only those having identity cards were allowed.
Bedi, Salem and his second wife Sabeena Azmi had secured passports from Regional Passport Office (RPO), Hyderabad, under fictitious names and fake addresses in Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh in August 2001.
The passports were issued in 2001 but the fraud was detected in February 2002 when the intelligence bureau got a tip- off that Salem and Bedi used these passports during a trip to Dubai.
A case was registered against 11 people, including local civil and police employees, who helped them obtain fake passports.
Four employees were dismissed from services while Hamid, the passport agent who had helped the trio obtain the passports, is still at large.
