Maruti suspends Employees Union General Secretary for slapping an executive

An office bearer of Maruti Employees Union was on Monday night suspended for allegedly slapping an officer in the factory's spare part division, a company official said here.

General Secretary of Maruti Employees Union Kuldeep Janghu was suspended after he allegedly slapped an officer on Monday afternoon.

"He was suspended at around 9:30 PM on Monday," a company spokesperson said.

Jhanghu, however, denied that he had slapped an officer.
