Gurgaon DCP (East) Maheshwar Dayal said the seven-member team would be led by an ACP. “Ten teams have been formed to track down the culprits,” Dayal said.

Maruti Suzuki quashed reports that it might shift out of Manesar to Gujarat. “There is no change in our investment plans at Manesar. Our focus is on expansion and not transfer,” said Shinzo Nakanishi, MD and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd.

Maruti has two plants in Manesar and a third is in the pipeline. The violence-hit unit remained shut for the second day on Friday.
