Two policemen were allegedly thrashed the Army jawans in Kupwara district of Kashmir on Friday, after they objected to "harassment" of a civilian by the soldiers, sources said.
Two policemen were beaten up after they asked the soldiers to let go a motorist, who was held by the Army jawans, the police sources said.
They said one of the policemen was taken to hospital for first aid.
However, senior police officers downplayed the incident, saying there was a minor altercation between the soldiers and the policemen but no manhandling took place.
"The Army had siezed the vehicle of a local commuter and the Munshi of the Kupwara police station had gone there to get his vehicle released.
