The bullet-riddled bodies of the cops were seen lying inside a police van outside Kali Mata temple in the district headquarters around 6.30 am, the officials said.
They said a police party rushed to the scene and shifted the bodies to the district hospital for postmortem.
Preliminary report suggested the two police personnel died after opening fire on each other, the official said.
