The candidates turned violent and set a public property ablaze during police recruitment drive in northern India's Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday (July 26).
While talking to mediapersons, Assistant Transport Inspector of Chandauli depot, Ravindra Nath Singh said the incident happened when the candidates were informed that application forms were no longer available.
"The application forms (for Police recruitment) were being distributed at this place. So, there should have been a proper security arrangement but there was nothing as such. Since it was a young crowd and a bus came during the agitation, so they initially evacuated the passengers from the bus - coming from Varanasi and heading for Naubatpur, and further torched it," said Singh.
Police recruitment drive was being held in Madhipur area of the district for the last three days and forms were being distributed to the applicants.
"You can see the damage. It would have cost around 10 lakhs (1 million) and the income and revenue loss due to the transportation detained has no account," he said.
However, enough security forces have been deployed to take the situation under control.
