As police arrests connected to the July 18 Maruti violence in Manesar is increasing, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) seems to be crying foul. CITU claims that there are loopholes in FIR registered against 55 workers, reports CNBC-TV18 quoting sources. The trade unions have also roped in lawyers to fight cases of arrested Maruti workers.
According to sources, CITU feels that FIR failed to highlight cause of fire as it could have been due to short circuit. The trade unions also say that majority of the workers arrested are innocent.
So far, police have arrested a total of 114 in the Maruti violence case.
Meanwhile, CITU officials are likely to protest lock-out of Manesar plant as nearly 30,000 workers may lose job as a fall out. CITU is also planning to lead delegation to meet Haryana CM and may lead mass rally to protest the lock-out.
