South Korean Chief Executive Sunkey Jeong and 11 others have been arrested by the police in connection with the LG Polymers gas leak, which led to the death of 12 people in the company's Visakhapatnam plant 2 months ago. Toxic styrene gas leaked from the chemical plant choking the employees to death and leaving several people severely ill. A government committee has suggested shifting the plant away from human inhabitation.
