Two persons were arrested today from Gadag in Karnataka for allegedly killing a hotelier in Goa, police said.

The accused are identified as Umesh Rathod and Dayashankar, a police official said.

They have been booked on the charge of murder for allegedly stabbing Vishwajit Singh (41) in the basement of a building in Calangute during the wee hours today, said police inspector Jivba Dalvi.

Police identified the duo on the basis of CCTV footage, he said.

"Since they are the residents of Gadag, we informed the Karnataka Police who arrested them, after tracking their location," Dalvi said.

The motive behind the crime is investigated.
