The injured policemen attached to the K G Nagar police station, have been named as Narayanaswamy (26) and Hanumanthu (26). Both were later treated for their injuries at NIMHANS. The incident took place around 6 pm, when the plain-clothed policemen halted a Maruti Van parked at T R Mill parking lot.
