The strike by workers at Maruti Suzuki in the Gurgaon industrial zone, adjacent New Delhi, in 2011 was a defining moment for the emerging industrial working class in India. Unfortunately, the workers have faced unrelenting pressure and attacks over this period. There are now over 100 workers who are languishing in jail on trumped up charges. Thirteen of them have now filed affidavits in court accusing top officers in the Haryana state police and senior Maruti Suzuki managers of colluding in their torture, assault, kidnapping, and of threatening to kill them.
