Such a civilized country... To be treated as humans, you need to act like humans.

BHUBANESHWAR, India (AP) --
Indian police detained several people after an angry mob of fired workers burned to death a senior executive of a steel factory, an official said Friday.
After learning they were laid off, about a dozen workers attacked a vehicle carrying Radhey Shyam Roy as he was leaving the factory in eastern Orissa state on Thursday, dousing the Jeep with gasoline and setting it on fire, said police Superintendent Ajay Kumar Sarangi.
Two other people in the vehicle were allowed to flee but Roy, 59, was trapped inside and later died of severe burns, Sarangi said.
Police were questioning two workers and their formal arrest on murder charges was likely, Sarangi told The Associated Press. The steel factory is in Bolangir district, nearly 250 miles (400 kilometers) west of Bhubaneshwar, the capital of Orissa state.
Incidents of industrial violence are common in India, where workers often target executives in cases of wage disputes and job losses.
In 2008, scores of dismissed employees of an Italian manufacturing company, Graziano Transmissioni India, used iron rods and wooden sticks to beat to death the company's local chief executive officer on the outskirts of New Delhi.

:( sad but true
Hope they are all prosecuted and if found guilty - given hefty sentences. An act of sheer stupidity.
I dont like my boss, I believe he should be burned, I will see about that tommorow.
rdsouza.....what should the heading be.
The article does mention more than one person of Indian nationality, and more than one boss being killed.
So Indians kill their Bosses is correct.
Anyway......frustration of losing your job and taking away your ability to take care of your family could drive people to do things others would not normally do.
Generalization at its best. Thats all we get on QL.
Happy QLing.
rdsouza wellsaid mate. Its pure hatred and stupid generalisation by the moron.
This is really heart rending to read. I do hope those who committed the crime pay for it.
But to look at it from another point of view - of the laid off workers. I am not condoning the act but when one looks at it these workers are dependant on their job to provide a warm meal for their family. And when they lose their job whether due to recession or any other reasons, they lose their mental balance solely because they have no way of now providing for their familiy. And in many cases these families are joint families where there may be only one earning member to depend on.
Frustration at their lot makes them lose their sanity leading them to behave in such a way. A sad plight.
Shocking incident.
But the heading does not suite the news item.
The generalisation shows your own hatred towards Indians. Do All 'Indians' kill their bosses ?
You wont have much to say when such ghastly crimes are committed by forces of developed countries in Afghanistan and Iraq , the crimes of massive scale that never get reported. Do you...
What a fate..Hope the culprits are brought to book.
But really are there any countries left in the world that are completely civilized and free of such ghastly crimes?
dylan, this is the fate most of the big company owners the world over are going to face in the next few years.
