Buzz: Actress's Bathroom CDs In Koti Market

It is said that Monica Bedi was shot in video while taking bath in the prison. A few national news channels have show those bits and traces of that video as well. Since that's abused by many, the channels have stopped rolling them.

But there is fresh information in air that the CDs are now being sold out illegally by the road side CD vendors in Koti Market. It was also said that they were made prints and being sold out in gray market. But when greatandhra.com bureau made an attempt to investigate on this, the CDs weren't found any where.

The CDs were sold in similar way when a few alleged news bits were out earlier that a heroine was shot while bathing in her hotel room etc. Anyway, there should be thorough check on this and the moral policing should be maintained. Only sudden checking by police in civil dress would curb those acts.
