Posing as civic body’s clean-up marshals, a gang of hooligans are harassing and extorting train travellers arriving at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus in Kurla. Armed with fake uniforms and bogus ID cards, they extort migrants coming to Mumbai under some pretext or the other. mid-day also found a man claiming to be a journalist trying to save them when the police arrived to take action.

The clean-up marshals engaged by the BMC to enforce its mask mandate are already a detested lot as many of them harass citizens. Earlier, this correspondent took up the job of a clean-up marshal to expose their wrongdoings. But the arrival of the gang of frauds at LTT is a double blow to the public. mid-day came across 20-25 such people at the train terminus.
