| The Indian Cabinet had decided to seek the extradition of the former head of Union Carbide Warren Anderson over the toxic gas leak in 1984 in Bhopal that killed nearly 15,000 people. A court recently convicted seven former Indian employees of the company for “death by negligence” in the world’s worst industrial disaster. There has been widespread public criticism of the government for allowing the American company and its U.S. leadership off alightly for the tragedy. Anderson, who visited India after the incident, was arrested but soon released and allowed to return to the U.S., reportedly as a result of U.S. pressure on the Indian government. |
