New Delhi: Two schoolchildren got a video recorded of a man selling cigarettes to minors and shared it with the police, leading to the arrest of the accused, the police said today. The incident was reported from central Delhi's Patel Nagar. 

The two students aged 14 and 16 respectively studied in a private school at Patel Nagar, they added. The duo told the police that they saw their classmates smoking and learnt that a cigarette vendor was selling the tobacco product to minors, which is a criminal offence. Four days ago, they went to the vendor and bought cigarettes while one of their acquaintances filmed the entire episode. 

They shared the video with the police and the accused, Jitendra Bhishan, was arrested. In another case, a 40-year-old man was arrested last week for allegedly supplying narcotic substances to minors. A juvenile was apprehended for a theft and he told the Juvenile Justice Board that he used to commit thefts to buy drugs, the police said. The juvenile had mentioned the name of one Manjeet, from whom he used to buy drugs. The accused was subsequently arrested.
