'Police gangsterism' in U.P. - it must be getting like England
Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh): On Sunday, about 17,000 aspiring policemen went on a rampage in Ghaziabad. They were out in the streets smashing motor vehicles and public property and looting food vendors for an hour.
These wannabe constables went on to pull out women from cars and three-wheelers and molested them, even tearing some of the women's clothes and manhandling the men.
However, the police have denied knowledge of any incidents of molestation. As soon as the candidates finished the exam and came out, they realised there was no mode of transportation available for them, which was probably the reason for the outburst.
"These men will become gangsters if they do not become policemen," one man in Ghaziabad was quoted as saying.
IMO: Typical of U.P., some may say. I would say that it reminds me of facts told about the English police by a secretary of mine who had a boyfriend in the English police. Ask any disgruntled UK citizen who has had real bad luck at a demo. Moral: The UK is like UP but in the UK everything is hushed up.
