Rajkot: Two robbers were arrested in a matter of hours after they robbed two employees of a firm of Rs 9.90 lakh cash in Junagadh on Friday night.

According to police, accused Salman Gameti (22) and Arwind Solanki (30), both residents of Ramdevpara in Junagadh, intercepted the motorcycle of Haresh Luhana (61) and Rajen Gadhiya (26) and robbed them of their cash at knife point.
