The two sisters, aged 8 and 10, were also being stalked by the two cab drivers for the last few days.
"The accused would offer lifts to girls in their cabs. In case the girls boarded the cabs, they would touch them inappropriately and trouble them," said the officer.
The accused drivers had similarly harassed many other girls.
The two girls, who study in Class IV and VI respectively, informed their parents about the two accused who were allegedly stalking them.
Yesterday, when the accused started trailing them, their parents reached along with police and the two accused who tried to flee were nabbed near Pandav Nagar market.
Praveen and Dheeraj have been booked under section 354D (stalking) and relevant sections of POCSO, he added.
The two girls will be honoured tomorrow by DCP (East) Omvir Singh for their bravery.
