Bedi to return extra money charged to organisers

October 24, 2011 11:44

Kiran Bedi on Twitter: Further to asking me to travel as per invite, Trustees have instructed travel agent to return the balance amounts forthwith.

Kiran Bedi was accused on charging her hosts full fare on air tickets while availing discounts but the activist claimed there was 'no personal' gain. Allegations were levelled against Bedi, a key member of Team Anna, that she used her gallantry medal to get 75 per cent discount on Air India tickets and then submitted inflated invoices to claim full fare from the organiers who have invited her to the function. It was also alleged that she claimed business class fare even when she was travelling in economy class.
