The arrested duo would be produced before Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate court later on Tuesday where police will seek their custody for interrogation, sources said.
DNA had on Tuesday reported that Jitendra and Umesh have emerged as prime suspects in Dubey's murder case.
According to the police, the incident took place around 1.1:30 am on Monday, when Dubey, who was General Secretary of Mumbai Youth Congress, and ran a cable and internet business at Shivaji Nagar in Asalpha area was on his way home from workplace.
“Five to six persons stopped Dubey's vehicle and two of them attacked him with chopper and swords. This is entirely a political vendetta killing,” Dubey's brother in law Manoj Dubey had told DNA on Monday.
The incident attracted lots of political reactions.
Ashok Chavan, president of Maharashtra Congress alleged that the BJP workers murdered Congress party worker Manoj Dubey on his Facebook post criticising the BJP. “It is nothing but the murder of democracy,” Chavan said adding that the high level probe should be set up immediately and the conspirators should be punished.
“We live in democratic country and should believe in different ideology. However, BJP is here to kill anyone who opposes their ideology. They are also inducting goons in large number in their party and using them to silence their party critics. We condemn this heinous act in strongest word,” Chavan said
