At least one person was killed and 90 others injured when workers clashed with management at a car factory in northern India.

Police say workers at the Maruti Suzuki factory in Haryana state attacked managers and set fire to the company property.

One local employee was killed and more than 90 were taken to hospital for injuries.

According to the company, the unrest began when workers protested disciplinary measures taken against a fellow employee.

The company said workers attacked members of the senior management during talks to resolve the dispute.

The country's top car manufacturer was forced to stop production-- a blow for the carmaker--which lost over $500 million worth of production last year due to weeks of labour unrest at the same plant.
