The Tilak Nagar police have arrested two rowdy-sheeters for allegedly creating panic among the public by brandishing lethal weapons on a busy road in Jayanagar.

The incident occurred recently in Jayanagar 9th Block, where the accused allegedly moved around on a public road while carrying machetes and threatening people.

A local resident recorded the incident on a mobile phone, and the video later went viral on social media.

Taking note of the video, the police launched an operation to trace the accused, and arrested both men and registered a case against them.

The accused were subsequently produced before a court and remanded in judicial custody.
