The lynching of Nitin Aage began on Saturday, April 26, when a friend from school asked him to buy her a mobile phone.
"That conversation ended my son's life," his mother, Rekah, told Fairfax Media this week.
The last time Nitin's parents saw their 17-year-old son alive was on Monday, April 28.
"He woke up early, did his routine, and left for school without breakfast. It's five minutes' walk from here," says Rekah. "The last thing he told me was 'I will be home for lunch'."
Home is a tin shed with a dirt floor near a crossroads on the outskirts of Kharda, a remote village 330 kilometres east of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra.
The Aage family have squatted there on state-owned "encroached land" for the past 12 years. Full story...
