Two men were arrested for robbing a bank employee here last month, a police official said today.

 Manish Vaishy and Ravi Sharma from Rae Bareli had robbed the bank mitra' on May 25, said K K Gehlot, Superintendent of Police, Amethi.

A bank mitra is a representative or agent of a bank appointed to provide service to residents of an area where setting up a brick and mortar bank building is not feasible.

Two of their accomplices are at large but will be apprehended soon, the official said.

Gehlot said Rs 22,100 in cash, a laptop, two country made pistols, live cartridges and mobile phones were recovered from the duo's possession.
