Acting on court orders, the Delhi police on Sunday registered an FIR against former top IPS officer and Team Anna member Kiran Bedi for alleged misappropriation of funds meant for her NGOs. The case was filed under IPC Sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 120B (criminal conspiracy).
A court had ordered filing of an FIR on a complaint by a Delhi lawyer, Devinder Singh Chauhan, despite opposition by the police.
Ms Bedi told reporters on Sunday: “Having been a cop, I have endurance to deal with this FIR. I have sound evidence.”

Congress president Sonia Gandhi had called for such a “shivir” at the party plenary last December.
