The duo were part of the 18 police arrested on Wednesday night. Besides them, another participant also filed a similar report while a third is expected to do so tomorrow.
They had joined the vigil to show support for Adam Adli who had been remanded for five days and charged with sedition at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court yesterday.
Manivannan, when contacted by Malaysiakini , urged Bukit Aman to investigate the allegations made by the two within seven days.
He said one of them had clearly seen the policeman who had hit him and is prepared to finger the culprit at an identification parade.
