Corporate India is in shock after a mob of sacked workers bludgeoned to death the chief executive who had dismissed them from a factory in a suburb of Delhi.
Lalit Kishore Choudhary, 47, the head of the Indian operations of Graziano Transmissioni, an Italian-headquartered manufacturer of car parts, died of severe head wounds on Monday afternoon after being attacked by scores of laid-off employees, police said.
The incident, in Greater Noida, just outside the Indian capital, followed a long-running dispute between the factory's management and workers who had demanded better pay and permanent contracts.
It is understood that Mr Choudhary, who was married with one son, had called a meeting with more than 100 former employees - who had been dismissed following an earlier outbreak of violence at the plant - to discuss a possible reinstatement deal.

If you can't or won't share the pie with any humane equity then the children are bound to get rebellious. Much of india has no safety net and works who loose jobs or can't find jobs become so desperate that they commit suicide. Do the elite ruling class and their CEO'S shed a tear for them?
Perhaps if a few more Exes had a little more fear put in them by the masses we wouldn't have to be bailing out Wall Street to the tune of a Trillion dollars while those Execs walk away with their tens of millions in bonuses...
Not that violence is justified but you can bet Execs would think twice.
India - another failed state in the making. In the west this would simply not be accepted, fanatical Hinduism will be a big problem in the next 20 years. The lower castes have been treated abysmally for their entire history, only a matter of time before they rebel as above.
