The charred body of the official, who was caught in the violence triggered by a scuffle over suspension of an employee after a heated exchange of words, was today identified as that of Awanish Kumar Dev, General Manager, HR, at the plant.
In Chandigarh, Haryana Industry Minister Randeep Singh Surjewala said that nearly 100 people had been arrested so far. "They have been arrested for various charges including murder, attempt to murder and destruction of property," the minister said.
Haryana Chief Secretary P K Chaudhery said that taking a serious view of the incident of violence at Maruti's Manesar plant, the State Government has formed a SIT under Assistant Commissioner of Police, Gurgaon, Ravinder Tomar, to investigate the matter. He gave an assurance that no one would be spared for taking law into his hands and resorting to violence.
