An angry mob in Agra, India, has destroyed two tanneries in the city, home of the Taj Mahal, after four young men were killed during a religious procession.
The four were run over by a truck. The crowd involved in the procession reacted angrily and burned the two leather businesses to the ground in the resulting violence. Around 20 trucks and a number of police vehicles were destroyed too.
