New Delhi: Hours after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the violence at the Manesar plant of Maruti Suzuki said that the violence was not triggered from outside, the automobile major denied having receiving any such detail or report from the Gurgaon police. When asked about the SIT report, the company said that it would not comment on the "basis of newspaper reports".
The Special Investigation Team probing the violence on July 18, 2012, said that the violence was not instigated from outside. According to the SIT report, the violence was a result of internal issues between the company management and workers.
The Haryana police have framed charges against 145 people after questioning 300 witnesses. A senior manager had died after workers had gone on a rampage. The company had claimed that the violence had been orchestrated from outside.
