MSRTC workers commit suicide, name Maharashtra govt for non-repayment of dues but will Mumbai Police arrest Uddhav Thackeray?

A Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) employee, who was facing financial issues, committed suicide at his residence in Jalgaon today.

As per the report by Maharashtra Times, the deceased was identified as Manoj Anil Chowdhary (30) and he was working at the Jalgaon depot of MSRTC.

In the suicide note left behind, Chowdhary blamed Udhhav Thackeray led government. He also states that he is taking the step because of his low and irregular salary given by MSRTC.

“My family has nothing to do with my suicide. ST organization should try to get my PF and LIC (money) to money to my family,” he urged in the suicide note.

In addition to Chowdhry, one more MSRTC employee named Pandurang Gadade committed suicide. However, the reason for his suicide was not clear.

In the case of Arnab Goswami, although the world knows that Shiv Sena’s grudges against Arnab is the reason why he is behind the bars, the political arrest was made on the basis of a suicide note in which Republic TV was named for not paying the ‘dues’.

Today, Arnab’s bail was also cancelled by the Bombay High Court and he continues to remain in jail for almost a week.

Yesterday the MSRTC employee unions gave a call for a statewide agitation from November 9 to press their demand for the payment of three months’ salary, which comes to Rs 900 crore.
