Manjit Singh Bedi, listed on the FBI’s wanted list, appeared before a Jalandhar court and was remanded to judicial custody.
Manjit Singh Bedi, who is on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s wanted list, was brought before a court in Jalandhar, Punjab. The court hearing took place today, during which the magistrate examined the charges linked to his inclusion on the international watch list.
The judge ordered that Bedi be placed in judicial custody, directing law‑enforcement agencies to hand him over to the district jail pending further investigation. No bail was granted, and the court set a date for the next hearing.
Authorities did not disclose the specific allegations that led to his placement on the FBI list, but the decision underscores cooperation between Indian police and foreign agencies in high‑profile cases.
Legal experts noted that judicial custody allows the investigation to continue while ensuring the accused remains under court supervision. The case is expected to draw attention given the cross‑border nature of the charges.
