| A court in Gurgaon in Haryana has convicted 31 workers for the violence at the Maurti Suzuki factory in Manesar in 2012 in which a manager was set on fire in a conference room. A mob tore through the plant in Haryana owned by India's largest car manufacturer, smashing property and setting parts of the factory on fire. Human Resources Manager Awanish Kumar Dev was burned to death. Nearly 150 workers were arrested, of whom 117 were found not guilty today of charges including criminal conspiracy and murder
1The trial lasted four years. Fifty management personnel and 9 police officers were injured during the clashes; most of them were hospitalized.
2The Manesar factory, which manufactured 550,000 cars a year, was shut for a month. It accounts for around a third of Maruti's total output.
3The riot began over a disciplinary issue with an employee. Company officials said workers began to attack senior management during discussions, while the workers' union said its representatives were attacked first.
4The violence lasted several hours. 1,200 policemen were called in to secure the factory located 25 miles south of Delhi.
5"Armed with iron rods and door beams of cars, the mob spread out in groups in the factory area and targeted supervisors, managers and executives... rendering many of their victims bleeding and unconscious," Maruti said in a statement
