Getting fired from a job can be painful and trigger anger like no other reason can. People often dream that their employers who expel them would go through bad times, but some like Munna end up doing so and regretting what they did.
A former employee of Batra Beverages and Distilleries avenged his expulsion from the job by draining out more than 1.1 lakh litres of liquor from a distillery. On Monday, he visited the distillery, located in Phase 1, Industrial Area, Chandigarh, reported Hindustan Times. Munna then scaled the wall to enter into the distillery at around 11 pm, opened the valves of the tanks storing liquor and drained out five to six liquor tanks on the night of January 27.
Rishi Pal Singh of Panchkula, the employer approached the Chandigarh police with a complaint against Munna, for trespassing into the company, resulting in the police arresting him. He knew the work timings of the distillery as well as safety entry and exit routes.
On the weekend when the distillery was shut, Munna committed the act. It was only on Monday that the case came to light. Munna had been working in the same factory till Diwali, last year, when he was thrown out of the job. He had approached the management two-three times to take him back but they refused. The tanks that Munna opened up contained spirit and whisky, capacity of each tank's storage about 40,000 litre liquor.
After Munna was fired, he kept nursing the grudge and wanted to take revenge with his ex-boss for throwing him out last year. The incident was recorded on the CCTV cameras. When questioned, Munna said he wanted his former employer to suffer, and draining the liquor gave him satisfaction.
A case has been registered against him under Sections 427 (Mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) and 457 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking by night in order to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment ) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the police station, Industrial Area, Chandigarh.
