Update on our 11:44 am story on Kiran Bedi:

Team Anna member Kiran Bedi, who is under fire for overcharging organisers using inflated travel bills, today said excess amount collected on account of
her travel expenses will be returned to the hosts. 

"Trustees (of the India Vision Foundation) have instructed the travel agent to return the balance amounts forthwith. They have already passed a resolution directing me to travel strictly as per invite. This leaves no room for discretion," she said.

The India Vision Foundation is an NGO run by Bedi. She said travel agent Anil Bal, who is also a trustee of the Foundation, was handling the travel account and has been asked to return the money.

Bal's agency was handling the travel assignments of Bedi. The Trustees, including adman Prahlad Kakkar, Laveleen Thadani, Achal Paul, Pradeep Halwasiya, Amarjit Singh and Sunil Nanda, were of the view that she need not save money for the NGO in this way.
