His arrest came after Bedi reportedly carried out fraud worth nearly $600,000 in the US, in the name of a company between 2024 and 2025.
FBI arrested after specific intelligence
The FBI had declared Bedi a wanted individual and reportedly issued a notice instructing him to surrender his passport and other materials to the agency. However, police said he allegedly ignored this and fled the US, eventually making his way back to India.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the full scope of the alleged fraud and Bedi's activities since returning to India.
