NEW DELHI: For the last four days 20-year-old

at Inderlok in Delhi. On Thursday, their hunger crossed limits and finally around 7pm they dialed 100 and requested the cops to give them food.

Speaking to TOI, Dilshad said, "We work at a sandal making factory which has been shut. We did not have any money and were managing for the last couple of days with biscuits, but on Thursday evening we called the police who helped us have a meal at the Inderlok police post. While we were leaving they also gave us Rs 1,000 and also raw rice, wheat, condiments and pulses."

DCP North Monika Bhardwaj said, "After the call was received, our police officers assisted the two boys. Dilshad hails from Bihar while Prashant hails from

. The staff handed over some cash and ration to them. We have been moving around in the area to identify people who are without food and help them."
