Two men have been arrested for allegedly stealing fuel from pipelines at several places — including the Delhi airport — an official said on Thursday.

The accused, identified as Sardar Singh and his brother-in-law Rinku, committed such theft from different states, including Delhi, Haryana, Assam, Punjab, and Rajasthan, DCP (Crime) Aditya Gautam said, addressing a press conference.

The Rajasthan Police has registered an FIR against the two for stealing fuel this year, he said, adding that the two were absconding in the case and carried a bounty of Rs 25,000.

Both were hiding in the national capital, and the Delhi Police nabbed them following intelligence input about their movement.
