World economic crisis started taking its toll, but the victim is non other than the CEO of an MNC.It all happened around noon when a group of former employees of the company who were dismissed a couple of months ago turned violent during a meeting with the management and allegedly attacked Lalit Kishore Chaudhury, CEO and Managing Director of Graziano Trasmissioni India Pvt. Ltd, at Udyog Vihar with lathis and rods. He was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead.This incident is going to have very long term impact on the ' Hire and fire' culture of mnc.
Lalit Kishore Choudhary, the 47-year-old chief executive officer of Graziano Transmissioni India, died on Monday after sacked employees beat him up in the company's office, a senior officer said.
The confrontation followed a long industrial dispute at the factory, which led to the dismissal of hundreds of employees.
"The dismissed employees turned violent during a meeting with the management," R.K Chaturvedi, a senior police officer said by telephone, adding that 63 people had been arrested.

you are absolutely right mr sanjay, but there are several issues that needs immediate attention from goverments side about the rule and regulations of labour laws.the condition in india is differrent from west and the meaning of job is totally different here. apart from that thare is no social security facilities from government.

Wonder what kind of take-home these company officers were getting. This was not a good way to address this problem. It'll all go to the families, not back to the company.
wonder what they said to these desperate men to set them off.

Was this Muslim vs Non-Muslim violence?

hi Civilus.
this heinous act has nothing to do with muslim and non muslims, this incident is related with economic slowdown and firing of staffs in mass.
since social security system here is in very bad shape so employes generally fac hardship when fired.

My family knew Lalit, when he was a young man. He was charming, and energetic, smart, good-looking and funny. One of those who are destined to make something of themselves. My family is mourning his death.
I was just a child when he used to visit us, so I only have very feeble memories of him. Now that I am a grown up with a family of my own, I feel immensely sad when I see needlessly painful death. Some may say that there is no dignity in death - once you are dead you are dead. But I for sure don't want to be bludgeoned to death or hacked to death or bombed away or killed by a reckless driver.
