136 people arrested for killing CEO
By
siliconindia news bureau
Noida: 136 people were arrested by Greater Noida police killing in connection with the gruesome murder of L K Chaudhury, the CEO of Oerlikon-Graziano Transmissions India, the Indian subsidiary of an Italy-based company in Udyog Vihar of Greater Noida. The agitated workers turned violent and beat him up, said Senior Superintendent of Police (Noida) R K Chaturvedi.
A group of dismissed employees beat to death the Chief Executive Officer of a company inside office premises after a meeting called to resolve dispute between them and the management failed.
About 20 people were injured in the clash. Chaudhury was rushed to Kailash hospital where he was declared brought dead.
There were about 200 former employees inside the premises when the incident took place. They were dismissed two months back for some reasons and were since then protesting against it.
Earlier in the day, factory sources said, a mob brutally beat over 50 workers with iron rods, hockey sticks and heavy axles, resulting in heavy bloodshed. Five workers sustained fractures in skulls, legs and arms, they said.
As many as 34 employees had to be admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU), Kailash Hospital administrator K.K. Sharma said.
An Italian delegation of six senior managers in the production wing was also manhandled by the mob.
"The company had expelled about 240 casual workers in January for non-performance. While we re-inducted 70 men, the rest had been striking in front of the factory for the past six months. Although the senior management was willing to take them back after some time, they indulged in extreme unrest and resorted to the blood bath with our employees," said Rakesh Kumar Singh, an assistant manager with the HR department.
"The men in the age group of 20-35, armed with iron rods and hockey sticks, entered the premises and attacked our security guards at the gate and then workers. They simply hit them with whatever they had. Even as this happened, many of them entered the production area through the reception gates, breaking window panes," he said.
When Choudhary, came out from his first floor room to talk with the vandalising men for a compromise, six men surrounded him from all sides, first abusing him, then having heated arguments and finally hammering him to death, company sources said.
Choudhary had joined Cerlikon Graziano Transmission in 1998. An engineer with a degree from the IIT Kanpur, he had an excellent track record in his professional career.
He is survived by his wife Ratna, a lecturer with the Kirori Mal College in New Delhi, and son Keshav.
Police official Brijesh Kumar Gautam said: "The clash occurred in the company over a dispute on re-employment of retrenched workers. We are looking into the incident."
Narendra Singh Gangwar, a 40-year-old worker who was admitted at the Kailash Hospital, said: "The men simply entered the factory and started hitting everyone with iron rods. I suffered fractures in arm and leg and an injury in the head."

1: I think state like UP should start thinking
very seriously about these incidences - this
will be a big blow for their industrial
development strategy (if they have one). With
increasing importance of IT / ITES related
businesses - everyone has to change their
mindsets accordingly. Even the labour unions
should leave their age-old manufacturing
practices where they can easily get-away with
loosely and politically powered "manmani".
We're going progressive way and the manpower has to affect that change. I strongly disagree with comment3 which is diverting a topic totally. This is not capitalism VS marxist debate nor India is in stage of it. We have moved on - and everyone needs to adapt to a change.

2: Welcome to America! You get a job, you loose
a job. We've been living in the mire of
Corporate America all our lives. You want
the same opportunities we have? Then live
with the circumstances of corporate greed,
downsizing and no loyalty to workers that
give their life blood to the companies they
work for. You've taken our jobs, food out of
our children's mouths and money out of our
pockets and you still complain.
Unbelievable!

3: The incident is shocking but it was result of
unfair labour practices adopted by the
management with full connivance of U.P.
Labour authorities. It is equally shocking
that the management had no faith in rule of
law and retrenched more than 200 workers
without adhering to seek mandatory prior
permission of the State Government as
stipulated under Section 25-N of the
Industrial Disputes Act. One must realised
that the MNCs are not coming to this
Country for charity but to earn huge profits
and Indian market attracts them because they
get cheaper labour as compared to their
homeland and that too without providing any
social security. If our Political leadership
is keen to adopt liberal policies of USA then
same social protection given to employees
must also be adopted in the same overzealous
manner so that there could not be any
exploitation of workforce. This incident also
underline the need to revamp rotten system
for the redress of Industrial Disputes where
an Employer Company could go directly to High
Court but poor labour have to adopt the route
of Labour Court where a lot of time is
consumed without any result and it virtually
amount to denying of justice because of
inordinate delay.

What has happened is a pity both for the labour and for the management.
But MNCs forget the norms of the host country and act as per foreign norms.
Indian Managers who apply blindly such foreign norms gets punished for their immature ,inhuman actions.
This incident should open the eyes of Market Economy to the human aspects of the HR they employ.
In a country where its not easy to get an alternate employment nor where the job-related income is not protected by insurance or legislation fare financial compensation of at least a six months full salary followed by another six months half salary should be awarded to the retrenched workers. On getting a job people will get loans from banks and other financiers for cars / houses and other sundry consumables .How will they pay for these without a salary from a job?
Their families would have acquired a life-style which they cant maintain without a job. The contract of employment of normal workers doesn't include any safety net . In India they join trusting that the MNC will keep them employed for longer periods .When that trust is breached the workers become desperate and result is violence
When MNCs operate as per the culture of Market Economy (ME) controlled by immature young Finance MBAs supervised by contract-protected greedy finance-bosses who care only for the bottom line of the account books,who have no clue of the human aspects of the work force , this kind of gory incidents will continue to happen . You cannot blame any one categry of people except the system and the culture of ME . Finance mangers cannot be blamed because they are professionally trained to care for the profit chart which should show weekly double digit percentage progress.Verily it is said that an accountant knows the cost of everything but the value of none. You cant blame the workers who were driven to desperation by the unrealistic glitter of ME , pregnant with bewitching promises designed to snare the unsuspecting
ME has to factor in HR aspirations and tenure protection . Retrench with a fat cheque or proper insurance cover of income protection for at laest a year and life need not be sacrificed at the altar of the ME. Just like for the Finance mangers money matters so it is for an ordinary worker too .Its worthwhile to remember that and not to forget it ever.

5: If ever there was a reason not to have your
IT business critical systems in India, here
is one. If the workers felt that strongly to
murder their CEO, what other lack of self
discipline issues would they have? Maybe they
had been trying to ring him to resolve some
issues, but had to wait for 10 minutes
listening to bad music. I know it makes me
mad, especially when I cannot understand the
accent of the person I am talking to (it
happens with Scots call centres as well).

6: it is very shameful that workers are feeling
unsecured life due to done like this matter,
i think hire and fire system for workers and
labors is unjustifiable. this system is not
secure for human life and family, workers
always beware from this system, everybody
wants a secure life with family, i request
to government look this matter honestly and
also pray them almighty god to console 200
family members who are in tension for future

7: Its very unfortunate that we have lost an
intellectual guy like Mr.Chaturvedi. I pray
his almighty god to console his family
members who are in deep grievance. I strongly
condemn this inhuman act done by the
agitating people. As a common civilian one
should understand that each and every human
on this earth is having equal rights to live
so no body is having authority to kill
anybody, for any reason. So i request all to
follow the great saying "LIVE AND LET LIVE".
Please don't hurt anybody by any kind.

8: It will happen in only UP (Ulta Pradesh). Law
and Order is in the hands of "YAMRAJ",
Police do not know laws and how to prevent
these type of incident. They only know how to
make money from people.
I am residing since 1999 in Greater Noida. Instead of this shamefull act , media is not exploring the nexus behind "Police+netas+ministers+goverment".

9: Steps of workers is surely not justifiable as
nobody have a right to take criminal steps
for any reason what so ever. However, the
happening must be studied by all Economists,
Social workers, Govt, Leaders, Management
Gurus, Employees, Management, Unions,
Psychologists, Spiritual leaders etc. This
situation is not just a blaming situation on
anybody. It should not prove wrong for so
called Modern Management system. Survival
instinct is in every human being. Really a
very serious issue for all who have failed
by taking things so easily and granted.
Killing is not a solution. To bring better
solutions is wisdom which is not taught in
Books of Management.

10: Very unfortunate in a country like India
known for peace and tolerance. India has
always attracted foreign investors and such
incidents send wrong messages to
investors.
One can understand the frustration among employees but such an extreme step will serve no purpose.
However, it is a warning message to all mis-managed companies, which think sacking down people is the only cost-cutting measure.

12: The reason behind this kind of act i believe
is the pressure and responsibiliy of family
of the person who did this.Management should
be aware of the crises the employee would
face after layoffs. This is also happend in
the IT field about 5 - 6 k people were
removed. Happily this kind of incident didnt
happen in any of those company where Layoffs
were done.This is like FORCING EMPLOYEES to
indulge in CRIME .A person with pressure may
commit this CRIME. i would request
MANAGEMENT,especially IT, to think about
this situation or may be face these kind of
situation.

13: This incident is as unfortunate as management
crisis in the organisation. For me this is
due to two obvious reason, firts is
mishandling the manpower and poor strategy,
and second is the absolute crisis of
emplyment opportunities in the nation. One
should keep twwo things in mind before
sacking such a huge number of people
specially in India.

yourselves right out of developing nation
status and back into a third world nation.
It's companies from Italy, UK, USA, and many
others that are helping to build India into a
global competitor in both IT and
manufacturing and dont think a story like
this won't cause a company to think twice
before comming there. Honestly you will never
see the headlines "GM strike turned murder in
Detroit". or "BMW employees beat CEO to
death".....Its barbaric and uncivilized and
sounds so third world. India needs to take a
long hard look at it's so called cultural
values that Indians are so proud of.

18: If this is the case then what should the
employees of MNC's who were fired in recent
time supposed to do...here its matter of
hundreds..but we can see thousands of
Professionals being fired every day....
One thing to be made clear is "you tend to stay in the company if you perform well. or else no one is going to bear u on theri shoulders."...its a tough world out there and its like survival among the fittest.
beating a company's CEO to death is not a simple issue to be looked upon..
whats the hope for survival then?... is he the one who is responsible for all these..even if he is the one responsible this is not the way to react..

19: the CEO is also an employee of the company,
so we have a case of employee killing another
employee, good show!!! what if the CEO was ur
son, father or relative would you accept
that? does killing the CEO solve the problem
of the retrenched people? did they get their
jobs back by killing the ceo? why did they
not search for other jobs when they got
kicked out of their company? now who is gonna
feed their kids when they are in jail? are
you gonna send money for their families? if
you think that killing was a good option to
loosing a job then i guess you should be in
jail along with those retrenched employees.

20: This is high time that labour laws should be
brought in to secure the future of employees.
Though it is a very unfortunate incident and
I have all the sympathies with the family.
But government should step in a regulatory
authority for private companies where
management do hire people even without
thinking that they are required or not. A
recent example is Lehman Brothers. They were
recruiting people till mid of July also. I
recieved a mail for the employment offer from
Lehmann Brothers. An Indian regulatory
authority shall be brought in force these
type of unfortunate incidents.

21: It is very unfortunate but not unexpected.
The companies should have long term vision
and recruit the people accordingly. If they
look for windfall profits by recruiting
people for short terms and leaving them
adrift remains to be really a cause for
concern, More than the MDs or CEOs, the
middle level bosses want always new people so
that they can get their personal works also
done through them and it is easier to cover
up their inefficiencies. Unless the CEOs and
MDs understand the psyche of the middle level
bosses, this type of things are going to be
the order of the day in the nascent
liberlised economic scenario. It is the
expression of the anger when powerful people
play with the livelihood of powerless people.

22: This is what called a "Corporate Life" Yes, I
would have to say that this was totally
unacceptable. As if we ask those 136 fired
employees as what they've got after brutally
killing the CEO. Have they got their job
back???
If the all dismissed workers were Human Beings so the CEO was also a "Human Being"
If an employee wants to leave the company they can then this can be a loss to an organisation...similarly if company doesn't need them, company can also dismiss them. It is the rule of law as if Company exist then an employee exist and if company has no business then employee has no existence.
So there must be a reason to dismiss those employees otherwise management couldn't take such a harsh decision...it must have done a lot of thought process before taking such Big Decision.
A lesson : its a life which is uncertain we have to be prepared with every situation

and a father of a teenager child have been
killed, But this CEO's and MD's or Top level
people sitting in the AC cabins and driving
in the lavish cars do not understand the pain
of empty pockets, blind future, burning
hunger. This Top level management people have
secure their future as well their childrens
by liking the shoes of Investors. I agree the
way employees gave their judgment, god knows
how long or how many decades would have
passed if they would have taken the help of
law and god knows how many untold deaths by
hunger and poverty would have taken place
with out the notice of the entire world. Why
arent we are looking the other side of the
story.
Recently a very well know Travel company based out of UK Thomas Cook while taking over TCI has fired about 750 odd employees who were either OLD or holding lower positions like peons, clerk, agreed they gave them compassion but at what cost. There were people among who have almost spent their whole life for the company, where will they go now???? One person to show his growth screwed 750 odd peoples future rather their familys future.
Shame on this kind of people who live for themselves in the name of Growth, PROFIT of ORG and management decisions.

people were dismissed.
Because people on higher post do not treat or consider the people of middle class or lower class as human beings. Because something similar is happening with me also.

Industry. Who shall be responsible? The
management or Workers? Every one has rights
to express their Voice. The management should
give On the Job Training to non-satisfactory
performers and then Management shall take
right decision. However expelled employee
should consider their weak points on
performance. In my opinion, the HR department
is totally responsible for mishandling the
issues and lost an excellent professional.
The HR head and his team members are CULPRIT.

a way to earn sympathy for the company and
CEO. You should also consider the fact
because of which this incident occurred.
What was the reason? Nobody is foolish enough to do such kind of thing without a reason. You should blame the company management for it.

42: This is not something very new in India and
will go on for a long time. It is the
management that also has to see that the
employees who are hired by the company are
from decent family background. Moreover they
should have been given the valid reason for
their termination so that they should feel
guilty and try to change themselves and not
after what has happened. It is indeed very
sad that these things will continue unless
fraustration from axed employeed are
validated and off course sucurity should be
beefed up during these periods.

43: There should be law against mass firing. I
have faced it, when i was a child my dad was
a victim of mass firing, and also not because
he was a non-performer. We were forced to
live a miserable life, I felt like killing
the guy responsible for this at that age(i
was only 7-8 years old). Any man will come
down to barbarism if you snatch food from him
think of those families who had to go without
food because of this mass firing. I feel very
sorry for the CEO knowing he was only the
actor not the one who did this just for
making profit.

know how to live in civilized country.
Therefore army role is the only option for

upon the managing condition of the employees.
it is very dificult to put our views upon it
as here every body is responsible. But to
understand, What IR & HR was doing? Why HR or
IR personnel was not present at the time of
incdence with CEO? is it a out come of
egoism?

this should be required to pay 25% of their
wages for the next 25 years to a trust fund
for this gentleman's son Keshav. As for the
workers, they should be placed in jail until
Keshav decides to free them. Just as the mob
decided the fate of Keshav's son, Keshav

look mockery in the face of community who

Will Law take any trend setter decision to stop this at once.
Where are we leading towards or how far are we from getting recognised as land of terrorism?

So Management please take care of your employees and try to avoid these kind of situations. Give the training to them time to time if the performance is not goo, as a HR to a company i am saying this.

responsible or everyone is responsible. I
guess the case will not stand in the court
coz it will be difficult to prove whose hit
actually killed the CEO. So the culprits will
be free to do a more gruesome crime. When
unruly armed people strom in nothing can be
done. Ultimately the Media will twist the
story to be a revolution of the have nots and

have dragged the State to amicably settle the

involved.The IR man in the organisation shd
not have allowed the issue to be kept

63: This is really an unfortunate incident and i
firmly believe that this kind of situations
should not be neglected especially involving
large number of people and it should be
settled amicably and diplomatically between
the management and the retrenched workes and
if needed they could have taken help from the
law or police to refrain them from entering
the industry premises after the settlement.
In this case i feel there is a mistake both
on the management end as well as workers
ends, workers should not have behaved in a
barbaric way and all they get now is to serve
the jail term instead they should be settling
it by talking in a meeting and i stricitly
expect that the police would punish the
miscreants responsible to ensure that no body
ever dares to repeat this kind of an act. I
also hope that at least now the management
will wake up as a well wisher of existing
employees, they should be seeking help from
police and law to settle this issue and
secure future employee security related
issues.

never takes care of the employee having below

they have become so selfish that they never

68: Firstly, the news is shocking. Should not
have happened.
A more careful look at it, 200+ families have suffered due to the loss of their jobs -> this has had a ripple effect that is yet not investigated and undocumented. My sincere sympathies to all the families.
The CEO's family, has suffered the most. Lost the head of the family, due to a decision that might not have been his doing. My deepest condolences to them all.
Having said all that, it seems to be a flaw of several stakeholders, the management, the joint venture, the city administration, the law mechanism, education, facilities for counseling for people who lost their jobs, family members who could have changed this mishap from occurring, loss of our cultural values of patience and perseverance .... all indicates that we can let loose the animal within us and need to do more to control it and should be a universal effort than an isolated one.
I think companies should loose the right to throw out people citing non-performance, instead it should be a larger effort where governmental bodies are involved to carefully investigate the case and then decide on the course of action.
An Italian company was in a JV with this Indian company, we should see if Italian law allows this level of mass firing practice in Italy and under what circumstances. If it cannot happen there, it should not happen with JV's they have forged in other countries.
The HR association of the world should take note of this and advice their practitioners to be more ethical in cases relating to mass pink slips.
There are so many anti-social elements against whom such actions could make good sense, like dacoits, highway looters, murderers, rapists, terrorists. But such things never happen to them.
I am sure there are many people praying for peace for this family. God bless!

73: This act is atrocious. The humanity is only
decreasing day by day. The fault lies on both
sides (Mgt & workers). If the jobs of 200
workers are terminated due to any reasons the
Mgt. should have given proper notice or 1
month salary in lieu. If the Company is at
loss then it should have taken a alternative
measure before terminating the workers. At
the end of the day workers are always
workers. They too have family and
commitments. A sudden loss of job will cost a
family very dear whether its worker or a
Manager. But killing in any ways is not
justified. I think a enquiry should be made
in this. I also totally agree to Mr.
Gopakumar comments below. The politicians too
play a very nasty role taking advantage of
the workers class. YOUTH OF INDIA.. Please
wake up and take hold of the Country from the
corrupted old Politicians. -- Nagarajan.

industralists should come under one umbrella
and raise alarm against such type of
inccidents . This incident can be repeated in
any organisation thereby hampering the growth
of any firm. Labour unions are meant for the
