Former Cox’s Bazar Chamber of Commerce chief Salamat Ullah Khan was arrested at his home in the town on Sunday while former MP Md Rashid was nabbed at Maheshkhali.
Police say the International Crimes Tribunal had issued arrest warrants against them.
An estimated three million people were killed while millions of others were forced to flee to India during the nine-month-long Liberation War in 1971.
A number of people, mostly Jamaat-e-Islami and BNP leaders, have been convicted of war crimes.
Three cases were filed over crimes against humanity in Cox’s Bazar -- one each at Chokoria, Pekua and Moheshkhali.
Police said Khan and Rashid were accused in the Maheshkhali case.
