The two injured personnel, a Sub Inspector (SI) and a head constable, were taken to Safdarjung Hospital by a PCR Van, and a medical examination of both was done, he added.
According to the statement of the SI, he along with a head constable was doing mobile prosecution Challan on Vedant Deshika Marg, and around 07.45 pm a car jumped the red light and came towards them.
The head constable signaled the car to stop. Initially, the driver stopped the vehicle, but when he was asked to come out of the vehicle, he tried to run away from the spot dragging them for about 20 meter on the car, and later hit them before running away from the spot.
