India-Born US Citizen Lands on FBI Most Wanted List for Food Stamp Fraud

Manjit Bedi, an India-born US citizen, has been added to the FBI's Most Wanted list in connection with a federal fraud case. Bedi ran a small grocery store in Tacoma, Washington, where he allegedly exploited the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme (SNAP). Instead of allowing customers to purchase food with their government benefits cards, he would swipe the cards and hand out cash. This practice, known as SNAP trafficking, is a federal offence that misuses taxpayer-funded food assistance. Authorities have escalated the case by placing Bedi on the FBI's high-profile wanted list.
