Workers burn boss to death

INDIAN police have detained two people after an angry mob of sacked steel workers burned to death a senior executive.

After learning they were laid off, about a dozen workers attacked a 4x4 vehicle carrying Radhey Shyam Roy as he was leaving the factory in eastern Orissa state.

They doused it with petrol and set it ablaze, said police Superintendent Ajay Kumar Sarangi.
