One of the two people killed was said to be a police official on duty when the hoodlums attacked the station.

A viral video of the incident seen on Sunday afternoon showed a building being used as a police station on fire and the bodies of two men lying by the fence.

Voices in the background of the video identified one of the bodies as that of a policeman but it was not clear whether the second person was a policeman or not.

Efforts to get the reaction of the state police command on the incidents were not successful.
