MUMBAI: Five persons were killed in Maharashtra's Dhule district today by villagers, who suspected that they were part of a gang of child lifters.
"The five, along with a few others, were seen getting down from a state transport bus in the tribal Rainpada hamlet. When one of them apparently tried to speak to a girl child, villagers, who had gathered for the weekly Sunday bazaar, pounced on them," police said.
According to police, there were rumours for the last few days that a gang of child lifters was active in the area.
The bodies are being taken to the nearby Pimpalner hospital, they added.

Jaipur (PTI): Four people assisting victims of a road accident were killed and eight others injured when a speeding truck hit them in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan, police said on Sunday.
The incident occurred under Sabla police station limits at around 11.30 pm on Saturday, they said.
