Parties seek probe into role of firm in violence
Kitex managing director Sabu M. Jacob on Monday alleged that there was a conspiracy to shut down the company and there was an attempt to carry out political vendetta against the Twenty20 party.
He said several innocent workers of his company had been taken into police custody in connection with the violent incidents on Christmas night in which a group of workers from other States attacked the police, who tried to intervene in a stand-off among the workers.
Meanwhile, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan demanded an impartial inquiry into the incidents. At a press meet, he wanted the police to investigate if the Kitex management had been involved in the incidents in any way. He accused the State government of turning the police into an ineffective instrument. Benny Behnanan, Congress MP, demanded that the police inquire how intoxicating substances entered the hostels completely under the Kitex group.
