the lynching of a company official in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. Reacting to the
tragedy, Kharge said: Lynching of the company vice-president by workers is an
unfortunate incident. I have asked the Tamil Nadu Government to provide a detailed
report of the incident. A group of agitating workers of an auto parts manufacturing
company on Tuesday lynched the Vice President (Human Resource) of the company
to death. Six workers barged into Pricol Limited and attacked employees of company''''s
human resource department including Vice-President Roy J George got badly hurt.
George, 47, succumbed to serious head injures in hospital. According to the police
the assault was a reaction to their dismissal from service. The company had dismissed
around 42 workers on Saturday on account of indiscipline. In a statement, the
company stated that its utilisation capacity was slipped to ten percent and some
workers were not letting the others work. George was trying to initiate a dialogue
with the agitating workers to bring the operations back on track. Police arrested
twelve workers of the company belonging to All India Central Council of Trade
Unions (AICCTU) on charges of murder. A case has been registered against them
under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Earlier, the AICCTU had made
various demands before the management. Company sources said trouble between the
workers and the management had been on for the last two years. Security has been
beefed up as a precautionary measure in the company premises. |
