Police said the murder weapon, along with a motorcycle and a rickshaw allegedly used in the crime, had been recovered.
According to investigators, the accused, identified as Hayat Gul and Saif Ali, residents of Ghamkol Camp, were arrested during coordinated raids in Ghamkol No. 3.
Initial interrogation suggested that a verbal dispute between one of the suspects and the doctor escalated into the fatal shooting.
Officials described the case as highly sensitive, noting that the district was simultaneously grappling with serious security challenges, including a recent terrorist attack in which a DSP and five other police personnel were martyred.
Police said further investigation was under way and that a comprehensive, evidence-based challan would be submitted in court to ensure exemplary punishment for the accused.
