Police said those arrested have been identified as Rajdeep Singh of Babak village in Hoshiarpur district and Sarabjit Singh of Jalandhar district.
Both Rajdeep Singh and Sarabjit Singh were produced before the duty magistrate on Friday night and sent to one-day police remand.
The police had last month launched a major crackdown against Amritpal Singh and members of his organization ‘Waris Punjab De’.
