A former Special Metropolitan Magistrate recently became the target of 'tak tak' gang in Marine Drive. On January 9, 60-year-old Ramdas Gupta, who is practising at the High Court, had left his bag containing Rs 1.3 lakh cash in the rear seat of his car.

While Gupta had gone to a coffee shop, his driver was sitting inside the car. This was when a man tried distracting the driver. When the driver opened the door, someone snatched the bag and took off. A complaint has now been filed with the Marine Drive police for theft.
