Cowboys ride into New Delhi
India is becoming home to a new breed of cowboys - who use motorbikes instead of horses.
The bizarre scene is the result of a reward being offered by the authorities in New Delhi, where a sum of around £25 has been laid on for anyone who can help clean the streets of wandering cows.

The bovine strays have been steadily taking over, with estimates putting the total at more than 40,000.
As a result the authorities have turned to citizens for help, according to Inside Bikes.
However, with the reward adding up to around two weeks' wages, scores of motorbike mounted cowboys complete with sticks and all manner of paraphernalia - have been riding the streets.
Quite what the bike insurance for an Indian cowboy is remains to be seen.
