The body of Ratneshkumar Rajkumar Jaiswal, a resident of Panvel, was found near Kalamboli Circle in the wee hours of Monday, senior police inspector Avinash Kaldate said, reported PTI.
The police received inputs that two persons had killed him and arrived at the scene on a scooter.
They identified the scooter and based on technical analysis and examination of CCTV footage of the area, they apprehended Mohammad Chand Shabbir Shaikh (25), who worked in a private firm, and Juef Jamil Ilias Shaikh (25), a meat seller, on Tuesday, the official said, reported PTI.
During interrogation, the accused told the police that they were involved in a quarrel with a group of transgender persons at the Kalamboli Steel Market service road shortly before the incident.
