The accused have been identified as Dinesh and Jinesh. They were allegedly part of a conspiracy to rob a CMS Info Systems van near Jayanagar last week.
CMS Info Systems is the company responsible for transporting cash through these deliveries.
According to police, Dinesh was arrested in Bengaluru while Jinesh was nabbed in Chennai, both on Sunday. Authorities have so far recovered ₹6.55 crore of the stolen amount.
“About Rs 56 lakh is yet to be recovered,” said Lokesh B. Jagalasar, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Division).
Earlier, on Saturday, City Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh announced the arrest of six suspects.
Among those arrested were former employees of CMS Info Systems and Annappa Naik, a police constable attached to Govindapura police station, who is currently under suspension pending investigation.
Investigation revealed that the accused spent around ₹100,000 from the loot, mainly on logistics and buying a mobile phone worth ₹40,000.
