Gwalior, September 9: In a bizarre case from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, two brothers were arrested for committing multiple thefts to finance the extravagant lifestyle of their girlfriend in Delhi, who they were both in love with. The brothers, identified as Ravi Dhanuk and Vishal Dhanuk from Bhind's Mehgaon area, were apprehended by Hastinapur police following investigations into a series of thefts.

According to Hindi Daily Dainik Bhaskar, the brothers confessed to stealing to meet the costly demands of their high-maintenance girlfriend, which included makeup, clothes, and expensive habits.
