Punjab Police arrested Manjit Singh Bedi, an India-born fugitive wanted by the FBI, in Jalandhar on September 5, 2026, for a $600,000 government benefits fraud.
Bedi was on the FBI's most wanted list for orchestrating a complex scheme that defrauded the US government of approximately ₹5.6 crore.
Authorities are now coordinating with US officials to initiate extradition proceedings to bring the suspect to the United States to face federal charges.
