Twelve policemen including two sub-inspectors were injured when people allegedly attacked them when they stepped in to broker a truce between two sides disputing over installation of a transformer in Nathapur village here.
The incident took place on Saturday, Station House Officer (SHO), Puwayan, Jasveer Singh said.
"There was a dispute in Nathapur village over installation of a transformer. Police reached the spot and tried to pacify the villagers. However, the villagers started throwing stones at the policemen and even beat them up," the SHO said.
