A 16-year-old boy and a second teenager have been arrested on suspicion of murder as part of the Saffron Drive murder investigation.
The boy and a man, aged 19, have both been arrested and remain in police custody at this time.
The arrests come after enquiries have been taking place at a number of locations across the district all week following the discovery of a body in Saffron Drive, Allerton, on Monday morning.
The body of Mohammed Feazan Ayaz, 20, was found in the street naked with a number of injuries on Monday, and a murder investigation was launched as a result.
Forensics teams were at the scene on Monday, and operations have taken place at Denholme Business Centre and in Radcliffe Avenue, Swain House, as part of the investigation.
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Police said: "Enquiries are ongoing at a number of locations across Bradford District in connection with the death of Mohammed Feazan Ayaz.
"These are likely to continue over the weekend as our investigation progresses.
“A 19-year-old man and a 16-year-old male have been arrested on suspicion of murder. Both remain in custody at this time.
