They were produced before the court of judicial magistrate 1st class Manvika Bansal who sent them to 14 days' judicial custody, investigation officer Dev Charan said.

They were studying in class 11 and 12, respectively, at a government school here and joined the mob in vandalising buses while returning from a dancing school in sector 4.

Three others - Devender, Sandeep and Surender - were arrested by the Civil Lines police station for damaging vehicles near the main bus stand.
