Comment:

 Cleaned up the patch and removed the multi-user delete functionality.

 nprasath002, could you explain the rationale for the multi-user delete
 functionality? None of the other XML-RPC methods support that kind of
 behavior, and neither does WordPress core. While your original patch
 checks the IDs before it starts deleting things, it is not really atomic
 because one of the `wp_delete_user` calls could fail and you wouldn't be
 able to rollback the already deleted users.

 If there's a good reason I'd be willing to reinstate the multi-user
 delete, but for now I think it makes more sense to be consistent with all
 of the other methods.
