The incident took place at around 11:35 AM when a team of CRPF's elite Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) 204th battalion was conducting an anti-naxal operation in the interiors of Gangaloor police station limits, a CRPF official told PTI.
While returning, the two personnel inadvertently stepped over iron spikes placed in Kusnar village forests, around 450 kms away from here, causing them injuries on their legs, he said.
Those injured were identified as sub-inspector Munendra and head constable Tarun Gogoi belonging to CoBRA 204th battalion, the official said, adding they were rushed to Gangaloor camp and were provided treatment.
