On the intervening night of May 13 and May 14, Babloo Paul and Arun Sharma, who originally hail from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, went to a residential complex and gained entry into a house and committed theft of a laptop and three cell phones.
While they were escaping from the house, the girl woke up and noticed the accused duo, following which one of them gagged her mouth with his hands, slapped her and threatened her at knife point, according to police.
The duo had come to Hyderabad from Kanpur on May 11 to eke out a living by doing labour work and after all the money they brought got spent, they decided to commit property offence, as per the release.
They were arrested by Narsingi police from a location here and the stolen property was recovered from them.
