Mumbai, Apr 18 A gang of six men barged into a housing society in Khar West, claiming that they were from the Income Tax. They tried to forcefully enter the flat of a senior citizen, but retreated after he fought them off and raised an alarm. The 62-year-old complainant lives with his wife at Emily Apartment on 15th Road and owns a garment shop at ALCO market. Requesting anonymity, he told mid-day that six people arrived in a car at the society around 2.30 pm on Thursday. “One of the intruders told the watchman that he was from a courier service and had come to deliver a packet to my house. Soon, five more people in black suits, face shields, masks and hand gloves entered the premises. They said they were from the I-T department and asked the guard to switch off his mobile phone,” he said. The police said the gang entered the society saying they had to deliver something to one Mulchandani who lives on the second floor. “Since there is a person by that name stays in the society, the watchman did not suspect anything amiss and allowed them inside,” said a police officer.
