Members of the Daikin Air Conditioner Workers’ Union along with other workers employed in the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor in Neemrana went on strike in large numbers against the alleged anti-worker, anti-people policies of the BJP government. Daikin workers held a peaceful rally which culminated in hoisting of the union flag at the factory gate. Police forces working at the behest of management along with management hired bouncers lathi-charged the peaceful assembly of workers, shooting at them with rubber bullets and tear gas cannisters. Over 40 workers were grievously injured and had to be hospitalised. The police have filed dubious FIRs against 17 named and 700 unnamed workers, concocting charges of unlawful assembly, rioting, damaging property, attempt to murder and causing grievous hurt to a public servant. The police arrested 14 workers (Mahesh, Surendra Kumar, Ghanshyam, Jagdev, Deep Singh, Ajay, Sukhram, Avinash Chand, Praveen Kumar, Pankaj Chaudhary, Ranjeet Kumar, Ajay Thakur, Sunil Kumar and Lal Chand) at midnight 8th January who were denied bail at Behror Court.
