Security personnel stand guard outside Wistron Infocomm Manufacturing India Pvt Ltd, where a section of workers carried out a rampage a day before, on December 13 in Bangalore.

Just a week after violence blew up at  its Narasapura facility in Karnataka, contract manufacturer Wistron on Saturday announced it has let go of its vice-president responsible for operations in India, while iPhone maker Apple placed the Taiwanese firm on probation.

Wistron had admitted that it had made mistakes pertaining to the wage payment processes.

“We are removing the Vice President who oversees our business in India. We are also enhancing our processes and restructuring our teams to ensure these issues cannot happen again,” Wistron said in a statement.    [FULL  STORY]
