DOJ Confirms Arrest Of Bedi, No. 5 On Fraud Wanted List
Indian authorities handed over the grocer after a year on the run that began when he skipped a Washington court order.
- DOJ's September 2026 post confirmed the capture, naming Bedi the fifth face on the FBI's Most Wanted Fraudsters list.
- He charged $200 against EBT cards for $100 cash, netting over $600,000 from his Tacoma grocery store.
- Ordered to surrender his passport and stay in Washington, he fled to Canada, then India.
Why it matters: A ranking on a wanted list changes nothing until a foreign government hands over the man.
