Mangalore Today /ITV

Mumbai, Jan 6 : Residents of a village near Boisar adjoining Thane on Thursday stoned two drivers to death after a rumour spread that the drivers were part of a gang of thieves.
 
Investigating Officer V D Sonawane said, five children of two businessmen went in three cars for a picnic at a farmhouse near Boisar on Wednesday, but on the way, the five boys  decided to sit in a single car, and asked the drivers of other two cars - an Innova and a Honda City - to follow.

 
As the three cars approached a village on the route, the villagers surrounded the last two cars, and began pelting rocks and stones, as a rumour spread that thieves have come to the village.
 
The third car in which the businessmen’s children were present, managed to escape the attack.
 
Big stones and rocks were hurled on both the cars smashing them up, and in the process, both the drivers Jagat Shukla and Sharma were killed.
 
Their bodies were found the next day, when the five scared boys came with the police. Ten villagers have been taken into custody.
