A constable died and 20 were hospitalised when they fainted while

As a part of the physical test, the policemen were instructed to

Police Lines after completing 6 km of the 10 km run.
"All the policemen are being treated at the Ursala Hospital. The
condition of one of them is serious," said a police officer.
