Youth-led protests turn violent across Europe; petrol bomb hits French riot police

French authorities have opened an attempted-murder investigation after a petrol bomb was thrown at riot police during nationwide protests, The Guardian reported on Sunday.

The youth-led demonstrations ended in street violence in several cities across France, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal and Albania.

In India, tens of thousands marched in Delhi in an opposition-led protest against the removal of about 130 million names from the voter roll.

Casualty figures and arrest numbers from the European protests had not been confirmed at the time of writing.
