The deceased constable has been identified as Devendra while the SI has been identified as Ashok Kumar.
Omkar Dhimar, brother of the accused Moti Dhimar, was killed in an encounter on Wednesday morning.
The two policemen had reportedly gone to serve a legal notice for attachment of property to a history-sheeter named Moti over his alleged liquor smuggling activities when they were ambushed by his aides, stripped and assaulted with sticks and other weapons and taken hostage.
A search operation was conducted and additional forces were called after the policemen, who had managed to flee from the site of the incident, informed the officials.
