MUMBAI: An MBA graduate from Jogeshwari has taken to social media to narrate about expanding incidents of motorists being looted on JVLR via 'tak tak' gangs. The newest robbery came about on Thursday night time.
The incident took place when the MBA grad, Shriyam Chaturvedi (27), used to be coming back from Poonam Nagar towards her house in Oberoi Splendor, Jogeshwari. "It was 8.55pm and traffic was moving slow on JVLR. I was using my phone when my brother pointed out that I should be more careful as 'tak tak' gangs strike frequently on this stretch. I kept my phone inside my handbag and the next moment, I saw a man approach a white Corolla Altis standing next to us at the signal. Under the pretext of crossing the road, the pedestrian came in front of the Altis and pretended that he had been hit. Soon, another man popped up from and started banging on the car's window, hurling abuses at the motorist," Chaturvedi wrote on Facebook.
The frightened motorist, in his mid 40s, rolled down his automobile window a little to look what used to be going down. "While one of the men kept yelling at him, his associate slid a hand inside the car, picked up the motorist's phone and ran away. The man, who pretended that he was hit, jumped on the divider and followed his associate. The motorist drove off not knowing that he had been looted. The episode unfolded 200m from a spot where two cops were stationed," Chaturvedi stated.
On March 21, every other motorist Ishaan Pancholi had taken to Facebook after his telephone used to be stolen via a 'tak tak' gang member on JVLR. Another motorist had clicked an image of the thief and it used to be passed over to the police officers. "Pancholi's case occurred at the same spot. The gang strikes motorists headed towards Western Express Highway. As there is no U-turn, victims cannot chase the thieves who run across to the opposite side," stated Chaturvedi.
