The CEO of a jute mill at Bhadreshwar in Hooghly was beaten to death and at least two members of the management were left injured on Sunday by workers agitated over a suggestion that the number of working days in a week be cut from five to three because of losses.
CEO of Northbrook Jute Mill S K Maheshwari had called a meeting in the morning with union members where he talked about the move. However, no conclusion could be drawn as the meeting erupted in commotion and was adjourned till 4 pm.
Meanwhile, as the B shift began trickling in at 11 am, a rumour spread that a decision to have a three-day week had been finalised. Sources said irate workers went into Maheshwari's office and, after a brief exchange of words, attacked him with rods and stones.
