DHAKA: Two men have been arrested over the murder of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov.

The head of the Federal Security Service (FSB) has announced, reports the BBC.

Anzor Gubashev and Zaur Dadayev were detained on Saturday, FSB director Alexander Bortnikov said, speaking on national television.

President Vladimir Putin has been informed of their detention, he added.

The murder last week of the veteran liberal politician, on a bridge within sight of the Kremlin, shocked Russia.
