Rioting by India police hopefuls

Hundreds of people applying to join the police have gone on the rampage in the northern Indian city of Ghaziabad.

Riots began because many felt a written test was too difficult, officials say.

The mob of would-be officers rampaged along a stretch of the main road to Delhi, attacking people and property. Almost 30 people were arrested.

Passengers were forced from their vehicles and reports say several women were molested. It took police an hour to bring the riots under control.
