Manesar:
The Maruti Suzuki India factory in Manesar is closed for the second day after the violence on Wednesday in which one senior company official was killed. Sources say the plant will remain shut indefinitely for now.
Sources also say the police are now focusing on the 17 people named in the FIR. This even as several other workers fled the site after the clashes.
Awanish Kumar Dev, HR GM, was burnt beyond recognition while 100 others were injured during the violence. Kumar's body was identified yesterday by his family.
There continues to remain heavy police presence in and around the plant.
The police have set up a Special Investigation Team to probe the death of the Human Resources Manager as well as the fire that lit in the premises.
An unnamed worker told the Press Trust of India, that many of them are staying away from their respective places fearing that they could be arrested.
The company had stated yesterday that it was "still assessing the total damage to property and facilities from the acts of arson. What is clear is that the office facilities have been burnt beyond repair, as have the main gate, security office and the fire safety section."
On Thursday, 91 employees, who were arrested, were produced before a local magistrate who remanded them to 14 days judicial custody. They have been accused of various charges, including rioting with weapons, murder, attempt to murder, unlawful assembly, assault and trespass.
Taking a serious view of the violence, Haryana Chief Secretary P K Chaudhery had said a special investigating team has been formed under Assistant Commissioner of Police, Gurgaon, Ravinder Tomar, to investigate the matter.
