  "summary": "The Jalandhar Police in Punjab have arrested Manjit Singh Bedi, a Punjab man wanted by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in connection with a fraud case involving nearly US$600,000 related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The accused, previously on the FBI’s wanted list, was apprehended after police received specific information about his whereabouts and formed a special team to track him. Bedi, who allegedly ran an Asian grocery store in Tacoma, Washington, allegedly defrauded the US government between 2024 and 2025, using EBT cards to access SNAP benefits. The Indian authorities are now verifying the information received from US agencies to confirm Bedi’s status as a wanted person.",
