Delhi Police files FIR against Kiran Bedi
November 27th, 2011 - 3:52 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Nov 27 (IANS) The Delhi Police Sunday registered a case against former top cop and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi for alleged cheating and misappropriation of funds in collusion with foreign companies and foundations.
Bedi reacted by saying she had the “evidence” and “endurance” to deal with the situation.
“We have registered a case against her (Kiran Bedi) under sections 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating) and 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ashok Chand told IANS.
A Delhi court had Saturday directed police to file a case against Bedi on a complaint filed by petitioner Devinder Chauhan.
Chauhan alleged that Bedi cheated various paramilitary forces and state police organisations on the pretext of providing free computer training to troopers’ families under the banner of her NGO India Vision Foundation.
Posting her reaction on micro-blogging site Twitter, Bedi wrote: “Having been a cop, I have sound evidence and endurance to deal with the FIR (First Information Report).
“Time will tell,” she added.
Bedi was caught in a controversy last month when it was revealed that she allegedly presented inflated travel bills to various social organisations and educational institutions that invited her for lectures.
Later, she admitted that she charged various NGOs business class airfare while buying the lower class airline tickets, but said the excess money went to her own NGO.
