Bhopal:
Over 25 years after a gas leak from the Union Carbide plant on the
night of Dec 2-3, 1984, killed thousands of people, all eight
accused in the case were Monday held guilty by a local court.
The eight accused are Keshub Mahendra,
Vijay Gokhle, Kishore Kamdar, J Mukund, S P Choudhary, K V Shetty
and S I Qureshi.
Amongst the eight is also Warren Anderson,
former chairman of Union Carbide Corporation, US, who is absconding.
Out of the nine accused tried for the offences, R B Roy Choudhary,
then former Assistant Works Manager Union Carbide India Ltd (UCIL),
Mumbai, died during the trial.
The maximum punishment under this
provision is two years. The quantum of sentence’s yet to be
pronounced.
The FIR in the tragedy was filed on December 3, 1984 and the case
was transferred to Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on December
6, 1984. The CBI filed the charge sheet after investigation on
December 1, 1987.
In the early hours of December 3, 1984, around 40 metric tonnes of
toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas leaked into the atmosphere and was
carried by wind to surrounding slums.
The government says around 3,500 died in the disaster. Rights
activists, however, claim that 25,000 people have died so far.
