Chaudhary headed Italian co in Udyog Vihar
The fight between the management and dismissed employees of a company in Greater Noida turned into a bloody struggle on Monday afternoon leading to the brutal death of the CEO of the company. Â
<b>The dismissed employees allegedly lynched Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director LK Chaudhary of Italian company Cerlikon-Graziano Transmissions India Pvt Ltd in Udyog Vihar of Greater Noida to death</b>. While ex-employees ransacked the premises, the guards too took positions with their guns. More than 40 persons from both sides were injured in the bloody fight.
Chaudhary (40) was rushed to Kailash Hospital in Greater Noida but doctors declared him brought dead. He was presently residing at sector 30 in Noida with his family. The company deals in manufacturing of construction rods, is situated at Udyog Vihar in Greater Noida and the area falls under Bisrakh police station. "A total of 40 injured persons from both sides have been admitted to the hospital in which half a dozen are in the ICU," said Dr Mahesh Sharma, Chairman of Kailash Hospital. Most of the injured are stated to be from the management side.
The cause of the violent reaction dates back to six months when the employees, demanding hike in their salaries and permanent status, staged a sit-in at the gate of the company. The peaceful demonstration turned violent earlier two months back when the employees had vandalised the company, following which over 200 employees were dismissed. Since then these dismissed employees were protesting and on Monday they were called by the management to sort out the issue through a dialogue, it was stated.
"During talks, at around 12.30 pm, the management asked all the dismissed employees to submit in writing that they will never go on rampage nor lodge any movement against the company as a precondition to get their job back but they abruptly refused it. The altercation soon turned into a scuffle and the protesters started beating the officials," said Rajaram, a guard of the company. "They came armed with lathis and rods," added Rajaram.
The police have detained over 150 ex-employees. "We are investigating the matter and the culprits shall be identified at the earliest," said Baburam, SP Greater Noida. The cops have booked 18 ex-employees on the charges of murder and others too are being interrogated. The station officer of Bisrakh police station has been suspended for dereliction of duty.
Choudhary's wife Ratna Chaudhary is inconsolable and even neighboiurs are shocked by his brutal murder. "He was a gentle and humble person. He shifted here seven years back," said Mohan Kumar, a neighbour. Beside his wife, Choudhary is survived by 16-year-old son Keshar. Ratna is a senior lecturer at Delhi University's Kirorimal College Keshar is XI standard student in Modern School at Barakhambha Road, New Delhi. A huge crowd gathered at his A-105 bungalow in sector 30, Noida to mourn the tragic incident.
