When the second team reached the place, it mistook the first one to be a group of militants and fired at them. A brief exchange of fire took place in which two personnel were killed," the official said.The incident happened between 6.30 am and 7 am. The deceased personnel have been identified as Havildar Gopal Prasad Nunia and constable Martin Marak - both from the Meghalaya Police 1st Battalion.The official said the area was thickly forested which might have caused the mistaken identity.After the embarassment, Meghalaya Police has ordered a probe into the incident.State Home Minister H D R Lyngdoh described the incident as an "accident"."We have asked for a report.
