Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh), June 25 (IANS) Two brothers of an expelled Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislator were arrested and sent to 14 days judicial custody for attempting to rape, along with others including three policemen, two Delhi girls in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district earlier this week, police said Saturday.

 
 Saddam Rana and Shahbez Rana, brothers of expelled BSP legislator Shahnawaz Rana, were arrested Friday in Muzaffarnagar city. So far, seven accused have been arrested, police said.
 
 The legislator's brothers were Saturday presented before Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Vikas Goyal who remanded them to 14 days' judicial custody, said Civil Lines police station chief Sanjay Vajpayee.
 
 The victims, along with two male friends, were returning from Dehradun to their homes in east Delhi when the incident took place at a highway petrol pump around midnight June 21, police said.
 
 The girls were forcibly taken to the rear of the petrol pump and molested. Their male friends were beaten up and confined to their vehicle, police said.
