One of the policemen received injuries and was hospitalised, the prosecution told the court.

The accused contested the case and denied all charges against them.

After hearing both the sides, the judge held that the prosecution proved charges against the accused beyond reasonable doubt.

"It is true that there is no record to show the accused are habitual offenders or previously convicted. But, at the same time, the matter relates to offence under Indian Penal Code Section 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty) and it is proved on merit," the judge said in his order.
