Mumbai Police's Crime Branch has arrested two persons in connection with the killing of a 28-year-old finance manager of a salon, a senior official said today.
The victim, Kirti Vyas, was missing since March 16, said police officials.
Police officials said that Siddhesh Tamhankar(28) and Khushi Sajwani (42) were arrested yesterday night and were remanded in police custody till May 11 after the two were produced before a local court.
Police said the two arrested persons worked as account executive and account manager at a salon chain in suburban Andheri and used to report at work to Vyas.
Vyas was allegedly killed because she had issued a memo to one of the accused for not working properly, an official said.
"The case was cracked after a DNA test was done on blood samples found in the car of one of the accused. The two had picked up Vyas from her residence in that car," an official informed.

Vyas had gone missing on March 16 and her family, after scouring CCTV images of Grant Road and Mumbai Central railway stations to locate her, had filed a missing person's complaint at DB Marg police station.
Vyas, her family had told police, used to board the 9:11am Virar-bound suburban train from Grant Road to get to work at the salon in Andheri.
The case was later handed over to the Crime Branch which made the two arrests yesterday night.
