"By the time our staff reached the spot, the stubble was already burnt. A fire tender was called to douse the flames," the officer said.
After questioning, Om Prakash was booked under sections of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act and other legal provisions and arrested. He later got bail from the court, the police said.
The Delhi government has restricted the burning of stubble amid rising pollution in the city.
