The unexpected turnout forced the Indo-Tibetan Border Force to postpone the recruitment drive yesterday in Bareilly, a town about 115 miles south-west of Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state.

Infuriated by the decision, protesters burned five buses and a petrol station in the town, said Brij Lal, a senior police officer.
They later crammed into trains to return home, and those who could not get into the coaches climbed onto the roofs. Fourteen people died on the spot when they hit the bridge and were thrown to the ground, while four others died overnight in hospital. Nine others remain in hospital.
