الإجراءات المتخذة: The court heard that the company failed to provide safety and security equipment, failed to verify workers' awareness of health and safety risks, and did not notify the government department ensuring standards were met. The court also acquitted an occupational safety officer who they found had "just obeyed the orders of his superiors". In April 2021, following a five month process of follow-up and engagement with the authorities in both Bahrain and India, Debasish Sahoo's family received USD30,000 in compensation from Crown Electromechanical, his employer.
