Thokchom Jagat was shot dead at Nagamapal locality in the state capital around 1.30 am, said a senior police officer.
A CCTV camera installed near the scene of crime had recorded the killing, the officer said, adding that the video clip went viral on the social media.
"The available footages show that the shooter got down from the car and shot Jagat even as he tried to flee the scene," he added.
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh today lauded the state police for arresting two suspects in the case.
"Jagat had received multiple wounds on his back after being hit by pellets fired from a double barrel gun," the officer said, adding that a car and a weapon have been seized from the duo.
