256 Small Shopkeepers, Paan-Sellers And Rag-Pickers Found To Be Millionaires In Kanpur

In a stunning discovery made by the Income Tax Department of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, around 256 people selling roadside snacks and eatables such as paan, samosa, and chaat have been found to be millionaires. And what’s more, several people who work as rag-pickers have been outed as having more than three cars. The millionaire sanitation workers have been found to have shied away from paying taxes for the last few years. The investigation was conducted by a team of Income Tax Department and GST registration with the help of big data software.

All of those netted, including numerous small fruit sellers and shopkeepers, did not pay a single rupee outside of the GST registration. However, they bought property worth Rs 375 crore within the last four years. The property in question had been acquired in expensive areas of the city such as Swaroop Nagar, Aryanagar, Hulaganj, Birhana Road, Gumti, and Pirod.

And it doesn’t stop there. These ‘small timers’ also bought around 650 bighas of agricultural land in and around the rural areas of Bithoor, Naramau, Kanpur Nagar, Mandhana, Kakwan, Bilhaur, Sarsaul, and Farukhabad. The owners of paan shops in Aryanagar, Swaroop Nagar, and Birhana Road have reportedly acquired properties worth five crores during the lockdown. Apart from this, several purchases of big properties by two people of Swaroop Nagar and Hulaganj has come to the fore.

Two sanitation workers from Beconganj and one in Lalbangla have built up properties worth more than ten crores in the last two years. Last but not the least, more than 65 small grocery sellers and small-time druggists have also turned out to be millionaires who are not registered with the GST records.

“Our agency, in collaboration with a law firm, has filed complaints targeting those who have engaged in criminal acts, including threats, defamation, malicious false accusations of plagiarism, death threats, privacy violations, sexual harassment, distribution of obscene content, creation and distribution of illegal deepfake materials and other illegal activities,” EDAM ent said in an official statement according to the Korea Times.

The case which grabbed a lot of limelight back in 2023 resulted in a major controversy and has so far resulted in six fines, three cases with mandatory education, and one case with probation, according to the agency. Among these cases are accusations from April and May last year, where the singer was targeted with baseless claims of plagiarism.

EDAM also highlighted a particular case where IU faced serious online harassment, including false rumors, sexual harassment, and death threats. Prosecutors have requested a fine of 3 million won (about $2,240) for the person involved. The individual is reportedly appealing the sentence, with a formal trial yet to take place.

EDAM revealed that it has collaborated with “relevant” sources to track individuals using foreign IP addresses or living abroad in attempts to avoid legal trouble. In one case, a suspect accused IU of espionage, claiming she was a spy. However, progress has been delayed as the suspect has continually refused to appear for questioning. This case has now been handed over to the prosecution for further investigation.
