Tax officials have summoned a tea seller who, allegedly, has given Rs 1.5 crore in <keyword id="48792" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dowry">dowry</keyword> for wedding of his six daughters. A video went viral in which, Leela Ram Gujjar, who owns a tea stall at Haduata near Kothputli, is flaunting cash and counting the notes in a loud voice as local villagers and community leaders watch. He is then seen handing over the bundles of notes to the families of the grooms. He has been summoned by the <keyword id="6421825" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Income-tax-officials">income tax officials</keyword>. "We will wait till Thursday. He will be questioned on his income, and it will be checked if he filed his returns or not. If the dowry he paid stemmed from unaccounted for income, a tax deduction process would be initiated. He has also been asked to produce documents pertaining to his income," a senior I-T officer told TOI. Besides, Gujjar will also be questioned for marrying off his four minor daughters. Sources told TOI, Gujjar had printed wedding cards for just two of his elder daughters, but the four minor girls were also married at the April 4 ceremony. Police are now on the lookout for Gujjar and his family. "We visited their house but they are missing. Their relatives have been asked to appear at the police station," an officer posted at the Kothputli police station told TOI.

IT Dept seized Rs 400 crores from this tea seller in Gujarat

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Federal agents arrested a Utah man who sold silver as a COVID-19 cure after a three-year manhunt.</li><li>Gordon Pedersen faces multiple fraud charges and is seeking to represent himself in court.</li></ul>After federal authorities raided Gordon Pedersen's home and got him to admit he had "exaggerated" his medical credentials to advertise a fake COVID-19 cure, a grand jury indicted him and he was ordered to appear in federal court.Instead, Pedersen fled, sparking a three-year fugitive manhunt.That search ended this summer after a federal agent surveilled Pedersen's last-known address and spotted a red rental car driving out of the garage. The agent followed the car to a gas station, where Pedersen exited the car, began pumping gas, and entered the store to pay cash for the gas and a drink.Pedersen first caught the attention of federal authorities at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic — in the spring of 2020 — when he <a href="https://www.insider.com/utah-man-peddled-silver-covid-19-charged-posing-as-doctor-2020-7?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook.com&amp;utm_campaign=sf-bi-main">used his YouTube channel to sell a "structural alkaline silver" product</a> he claimed "resonates, or vibrates, at a frequency that destroys the membrane of the virus, making the virus incapable of attach to any healthy cell, or to infect you in any way," court documents said.Pedersen claimed in his videos to be a board-certified "Anti-Aging Medical Doctor," falsely telling his viewers he had doctorate degrees in immunology and naturopathic medicine, the court documents say.Pedersen even wore a white lab coat in his YouTube videos, monogrammed with the title "Dr. Gordon Pedersen," and ran the website "mydoctorsuggests.com." The website still advertises Pedersen's "Alkaline Structured Silver Solution Supplement," and a silver-based mouthwash marked with a label that says it "contains no chemicals."Pedersen has been charged with mail fraud, wire fraud, and felony introduction of misbranded drugs into interstate commerce with intent to defraud and mislead, according to court records.Pedersen was one of many personalities who emerged in the early days of the pandemic, <a href="https://www.insider.com/missouri-sues-televangelist-jim-bakker-false-coronavirus-cure-colloidal-silver-2020-3">marketing unproven products as cures or prophylactics for COVID-19</a>. The feds cracked down on sellers, issuing warnings to companies falsely advertising teas, tinctures, and essential oils as cures. The <a href="https://www.fda.gov/drugs/historical-status-otc-rulemakings/rulemaking-history-otc-colloidal-silver-drug-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FDA established a final rule in 1999</a> warning that colloidal silver products "are not generally recognized as safe and effective and are misbranded," and that the agency is "not aware of any substantial scientific evidence" supporting the use of silver in treating diseases.Colloidal silver can also build up in body tissue over extended periods of time, leading to a blue-gray tint on the skin, eyes, organs, nails, and gums, <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/colloidal-silver/faq-20058061" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Mayo Clinic</a>. In severe cases, taking too many doses of silver can cause kidney damage or even seizures.<h2>Pedersen insists he is not "Mr. Pedersen"</h2>When Pedersen failed to appear in court to answer to the charges on August 25, 2020, a federal court issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Almost immediately, Pedersen "started vexing the Court with sovereign citizen-type filings that were clearly frivolous," prosecutors said. Court records show that Pedersen filed a dozen lengthy documents over the three years authorities have been searching for him, claiming not to be "Mr. Pedersen" or any type of US citizen, and instead proclaiming himself a "corporate entity" and copyrighted "Living Soul."Pedersen repeatedly referred to himself in his filings as ":Gordon-Hunter: Pedersen:©," calling the United States a foreign jurisdiction and insisting he was "not obligated to follow any foreign law in any foreign jurisdiction."He also espoused a number of false or baseless conspiracy theories in his court filings, explaining his belief that COVID-19 is the same illness as the common cold and that the "war" against the virus was a "simulated war exercise." He also accused Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci of engineering the coronavirus and unleashing it on the public.In one court filing, Pedersen took issue with the raid on his home, calling it "a forced hostile home invasion under threat and duress and armed abuse of power, entering into the home of Gordon-Hunter: Pedersen© against my will and protests and without my consent."Prosecutors said while Pedersen was submitting filing after filing, agents from the FDA and US Marshals conducted multiple surveillance attempts and interviews with Pedersen's associates, believing him to have potentially escaped to a log cabin in Utah or Wyoming. It remains unclear where Pedersen had been staying for the three years he spent on the run.Pedersen appeared in court on Friday in a hearing to determine whether he can represent himself at trial. An attorney who appeared on behalf of Pedersen at Friday's hearing did not respond to Insider's request for comment.Prosecutors said Pedersen should remain in custody due to his "dangerousness and risk of flight" after evading authorities for more than three years."His relentless sovereign citizen claims add to the risk of flight and an indication that he will attempt to obstruct justice, but also present a danger to the community," prosecutors wrote. "There are no conditions that the Court could impose that would assure his appearance or safety to the community because he does not recognize the Court's jurisdiction."
