The duo identified as Chotu(26) and Bhola(20), were detained for questioning and were arrested last night, said a senior police officer.
Victim Jeet Kumar, who was the complainant and main witness in a murder case in July, sustained three bullet injuries and died on the spot on December 25. Police had received a call around 9.30 pm last about shooting of a youth outside a liquor vend.
Police shifted Jeet having bullet injuries on head, leg and chest, to Babu Jagjivan Ram hospital where doctors declared him dead, said a senior police officer.
Vijay was beaten to death by some people, he said. Jeet was receiving threat calls asking him to back off from the case.
In Vijay's murder case, Sandeepand Sadat's name had cropped up. Four people were arrested but the duo is on the run.
The duo allegedly was threatening Jeet.
Chotu and Bhola, may not be connected with the murder of Vijay, police said.
"They are not involved in the murder which took place in July. But we are questioning them to verify their claims. The other four accused who were involved in Jeet's murder have been identified," said the officer
