KOCHI: Kitex MD Sabu Jacob has come up with an explanation regarding the case in which a number of Kitex workers attacked the police at Kizhakkambalam. According to Sabu Jacob, not all those arrested were guilty and that there was mystery behind the police's action.

"The incidents that took place at Kizhakkambalam were unexpected. However, not all those arrested are guilty. The police arrested only Hindi people and left out Malayali workers. Kitex was able to identify only 152 out of the 164 persons arrested by the police. From where did the rest come?" Sabu Jacob said.

'Only 13 out of the 164 persons are guilty. The rest were named accused to deceive the public. Only less than 40 people took part in the event. Workers from 10 states were arrested by the people. Do not think that these states will remain idle," he added. Sabu also said that the company would give legal aid to the arrested workers. However, the company would not provide legal aid to 23 persons who were found guilty in the incident. Sabu Jacob added that the company was ready to provide medical assistance to the injured policemen.
