    All power to the workers.

    Two videos from the spot of violence show several workers vandalizing assembly units, office space and vehicles parked in the premises. Incidents of breaking of window panes and shouting of slogans against the employer were also seen on the footage.

    Here the article uses the word “violence”, even though it sounds like there was no violence, just some rightful property damage by workers being treated as slaves.

    Cops from the nearby Kolar Police Headquarters were seen lathi-charging the gathered crowd in order to disperse them. Many of the workers were later admitted to the hospital after getting injured in the lathi charge.

    There’s no mention of the word “violence” here when the cops have clearly used violence against the workers in order to keep them oppressed.
