The police had reached the Mishrouli village to resolve a dispute between the two groups but members of one group started pelting stone at the team in which a constable and a driver of the police vehicle were injured.
The windowpanes of the police van too were damaged in the stone-pelting, he said.
The situation, however, was brought under control after additional force reached the village, police said, adding about six persons have been detained and interrogations were on.
“PRV team went to Mishrouli village on the information of clash and some people attacked them in which two policemen were injured. Some people have been detained and after registration of the case, further action will be taken,” Tarkulwa police station in-charge Pradeep Sharma said.
The rouble began when Barrister Gupta, a villager was getting a temporary road built on a disputed piece of land for the passage of the marriage procession of his daughter which was to be held in two to three days, said Sharma.
This was objected to by his neighbours Ashok Mishra, Krishnanand and Satyendra, triggering the group clash.
PRV driver Sanjit Sharma and constable Ramashish were admitted to the district hospital where they are undergoing treatment, Sharma added.
