So far 102 people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the arson and rioting at the plant on July 18, the report said.

Last Sunday, the Gurgaon police took into custody the organising secretary of Maruti Suzuki Workers’ Union Yogesh Kumar and identified new suspects.

The company for its part has started its own independent probe into the incident.

The government has also set up a special investigative team to look into the violence and has appointed KTS Tulsi as a special prosecutor for the case.

Once the investigation is over, all those found guilty for the clash between the workers and the management are likely to be suspended.
