He is Warren Anderson, Chairman & CEO of Union Carbide when lethal gas leaked in Bhopal on Dec 2,1984 killing 20k ppl. He was charged with culpable homicide, arrested immly & released on bail on Dec 7, 1984.He left India after signing a bond of 25k & never returned. #VizagGasLeak
Anderson is believed to have taken key decisions, including a cost cutting measure that compromised safety at the plant. As the head of the company, he knew that the plant stocked toxic gas within city limits and that it could cause huge damage in case of an accident.
Union Carbide paid compensation that victims have said was grossly inadequate.The Indian government had come in for much criticism over the way it handled the Anderson case. It took the government almost 19 years to move a formal request for his extradition. It did so in 2003.
In June 2004, the US rejected India's request for the extradition of Anderson saying the request did not meet requirements of certain provisions of the bilateral extradition treaty. In July 2009, arrest warrant was issued however, arrest did not take place.
