In a moral policing act, the panchayat under Vettaikaraniruppu police limits had earlier fined the two -- aged 18 and 19 -- and the woman Rs 40,000 and warned against continuing their relationship.

Despite the warning, the boys again met the woman on July 2. The Kangaroo court on coming to know about this strongly reprimanded them, following which they ended their lives by hanging themselves.

Their bodies had been burnt by the villagers without informing police who registered a case today after a tip-off.
