Manesar Labour Unrest: Engineer Accused of Conspiracy
There was a big fight at a company called Richa Global Exports in Manesar on April 9.
Workers were protesting and threw stones, set vehicles on fire, and hurt people.
The police say an engineer named Aditya Anand helped plan this violence using a WhatsApp group.
They say his phone was near the place where the fight happened.
But Aditya says he didn't do anything wrong and that the police are trying to blame him because he is a labour activist.
He says he was not even there during the protest and that the police are making things up.
The police and Aditya have different stories, and the court is trying to figure out what really happened.
The Gurgaon police accuse engineer Aditya Anand of conspiring to incite workers to violence during a labour protest at Richa Global Exports in Manesar on April 9.
Anand denies the allegations, stating he was not part of any protest and claims he is being framed due to his association with Mazdoor Bigul.
The police present electronic evidence, including cell phone location data, to support their claims.
Anand alleges coercion and intimidation by the police, claiming that his name was falsely included in the case.
The incident involved workers pelting stones, setting vehicles on fire, and damaging machinery, with two women employees allegedly assaulted.
