Gurgaon, Mar 10 (IBNS) : After nearly five years of legal battle, 31 people were convicted and 117 others acquitted on Friday as a Haryana court gave its verdict on the 2012 Maruti Suzuki Manesar factory violence, reports said.

The incident of violence, which took place on July 18, 2012, led to the death of HR General Manager Awanish Kumar Dev, who was  set on fire in a conference room as  a mob ran amok carrying out massive destruction.

Fifty management personnel and nine police officers were injured in clashes with workers.

The factory workers allegedly set fire to the plant after getting into an argument with the management.

The riot began after disciplinary action was taken against an employee.

The plant remained shut for a month after the incident in which 50 management personnel and nine police officers were injured.
