The wife of former Additional Commissioner of Police (eastern region) Ashok Kamte, who was martyred during the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, was recently targeted by the 'Tak Tak' gang during her visit to Worli last month.
As per the police, Vinita Kamate had come to Worli in a friend's car to visit a bank. However, as she went inside the bank, a gang member had knocked on the car's door and asked her friend whether she had dropped a ₹10 note.
As soon as the woman stepped out of the vehicle, another gang member opened the car's door from the other side and fled with a bag that contained some cash and a pair of earrings. The police stated that a case has been filed after the theft.
The gang had got its name due to its modus operandi. Police said they target unsuspecting people in cars parked on the roadside by knocking on the window.
