The victims were reportedly visiting the area check signal strength and consistency in the area.
However, some rumors spread through the colony that they were robbers and were also trying to abduct children.
Upon hearing the rumors, several area residents attacked and brutally beat the telecom company officials. The crowd then lynched them to death.
The injuries were so severe that the two men ultimately succumbed to their injuries.
While a police squad was dispatched they were pushed away by the angry crowd and in the end could only watch the crowd beat the two men to death helplessly.
