"No significant disclosure has come forth," the officer said.

Regarding obtaining a fake passport from Bhopal, the actress claimed that she never visited the state capital.

Senior police officers of the Crime Branch, who interrogated her, said she displayed a calm and unperturbed demeanour and did not make any demands during questioning.

Monica was brought by the Hyderabad police to the state capital late on December four in connection with a fake passport case.

Justice Dinesh Kumar Dangi had sent her to police remand for two days on December five although police had sought a 5-day remand.

The Bollywood starlet will be produced before the court on Wednesday where her counsel Sudhir Batra will present her bail application before the court.

A city police team might leave for Hyderabad along with Bedi late Wednesday, as she is has to appear in a court there on December nine.
