Trouble brewing at Maruti as carmaker suspends Employees Union official

An office bearer of Maruti Employees Union was tonight suspended for allegedly slapping an officer in the factory's spare part division, a company official said here.

General Secretary of Maruti Employees Union Kuldeep Janghu was suspended after he allegedly slapped an officer today afternoon.

"He was suspended at around 9:30PM today," a company spokesperson said.

Jhanghu, however, denied that he had slapped an officer.

He claimed that on Saturday an officer Sharad Kumar abused a casual worker Amod Kumar.

"Amod Kumar approached him and afterwards he and Sharad Kumar had a heated exchange of words over the issue", Jhanghu told PTI.
