They have been identified as Gursimranjit Singh, alias Simu Umarpuria, and Karandeep Singh of the Maqboolpura area. They were held from near the inter-state bus terminus. The police got a tip-off that the duo were drug addicts and used to steal vehicles and sell these to get money to procure drugs.
Following specific inputs, they were signalled to stop at a checkpoint near the bus stand. They tried slipping away but were nabbed by the police.
