The duo had ordered a sony camera worth Rs 60000 and they looted it and snatched 10000 rupees, which were Bengali's possession.
The accused have been identified as Shailesh Chandra Nagvanshi (26) and Suraj alias Bunty Dubey (29).
According to the DCP Zone 12 Raamkumar Suraj is an accused of murder at Nerol and is out on bail. Shailesh was working for a reputed cellphone company.
