Delhi Police on Thursday arrested two persons and apprehended three juveniles for brandishing a dagger and carrying beer bottles while they were riding a motorcycle on the streets of southwest Delhi, officials said.
The matter came to the fore when a video clip of the incident surfaced on social media, the police said.
In a 28-second video clip, they were seen sitting on a moving motorcycle without helmets, carrying beer bottles and brandishing a dagger at other commuters.
A passerby recorded a video of the act somewhere near Safdarjung Hospital and posted it on the X, a police officer said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Rohit Meena said taking suo motu action on the X user's post, the police launched a manhunt for the accused.
Meena said a case was registered against the accused under Sections 279 (rash driving) and 336 (act endangering human life or the personal safety of others) of the India Penal Code and 3/181 5/184, 128/129 of Motor Vehicles Act and provisions of Arms Act at Safdarjung Enclave police station.
Another officer said after obtaining the ownership of the motorcycle, a raid was conducted at Shriram Camp in Nanakpura, following which two men -- Akash (21) and Karan (20) -- were arrested and three juveniles apprehended.
