Mumbai: Over 40
activists of the Shiv Sena-affiliated Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS)
Thursday vandalised the office of The Week magazine in south
Mumbai and assaulted workers to protest sacking of an employee.
Police have taken around 20 of the activists in custody.
"Three people were hurt in the attack. They (the union activists)
assaulted our circulation manager Joji and demanded that he
immediately reinstate an employee that was sacked by one of our
distributors," the magazine's general manager S.K. Menon told
IANS.
Menon said the distributor in question - Siddhivinayak
Distributors - had first hired and then sacked an employee due to
his lack of interest in work.
"The said employee had then approached the Bharatiya Kamgar Sena,"
he said, adding that the union refused to understand that the
employee is not directly employed by the magazine.
Police, however, rushed to the spot immediately.
"The mob had come to protest the sacking of an employee. We have
taken them into custody," a police official said.
