Visakhapatnam: LG Polymers CEO Sunkey Jeong has been taken into custody on Tuesday evening.

Commissioner of Police R.K. Meena told The Hans India that the action was taken based on the investigation made in the gas leak incident.

Along with the CEO, 11 others were arrested, including director of the plant D.S. Kim and additional director Mohan Rao and styrene monomer engineers.
