FBI Captures Fifth Most Wanted Fraudster in India After Tacoma SNAP Scheme

Manjit Singh Bedi, a 64-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen and owner of an Asian grocery store in Tacoma, Washington, was arrested in India on September 5, 2026. Bedi is the fifth individual captured under the FBI’s 'Most Wanted Fraudsters' initiative, which launched in June 2026. Federal investigators allege Bedi defrauded the government of at least $600,000 between March 2024 and June 2025 by exchanging SNAP benefits for cash. After being indicted in April 2026, Bedi violated pre-trial release conditions by fleeing through Canada to India. The FBI is now working with Indian authorities to extradite him back to the United States to face charges of wire fraud and SNAP benefits fraud.
