Senior police officials said Nawani, who had gone on a tour of Ambikapur, was getting down from the helicopter using a ladder when he slipped and fell on the ground, injuring his hand.
Doctors examining him said the injury was not serious and he would be discharged soon.
Nawani, a 1978-batch officer, took over as DGP in July last year and will retire next month.
