The FBI has added Manjit Singh Bedi, an India-born man, to its most-wanted list following allegations of fraud involving the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme (SNAP). Authorities accuse Bedi of operating a grocery store in Tacoma, Washington, where he allegedly exchanged customers' government-issued Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards for cash rather than food products. The total value of the fraudulent benefits is estimated to exceed $600,000.
Following the filing of criminal charges, Bedi reportedly fled the United States. He is believed to have traveled to Canada before relocating to India, where he remains at large.
