The duo was arrested from a cafe in Kalyani of Nadia district on Tuesday.

In September last year, Kolkata Police's Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) rescued 11 people, including nine minor girls, and arrested six people for running a sex racket.
Acting on a tip-off, the police raided a house in the Burtolla Police Station area of north Kolkata.
A total of 11 people, including nine minors, were rescued from the house, owned by a middle-aged couple.
The police had arrested the accused Amit Banerjee and his wife Saraswati Banerjee on the spot.
Apart from this, the police also arrested four more people on suspicion of trafficking.
The arrested were identified as Suman Halder, Deep Chatterjee, Akash Chowdhury and Pooja Mistry.
Over the years, complaints of running a sex racket are occasionally made in various spas and massage parlours in Kolkata and its adjoining areas.
The police have also been conducting a series of raids to stop such incidents.
