Kerala airport clash: Four CISF personnel arrested

Additional director general of CISF Pachnanda is expected to visit the city to take stock of the situation
Kozhikode: The Kerala police on Sunday arrested four CISF personnel in connection with destruction of property during the June 10 clash at Karipur airport between central armed police personnel and Airports Authority of India officials, leading to the death of a jawan.
Kondotty circle inspector B. Santosh, the investigating officer, said the four were identified after review of CCTV footage of the incident.
CCTV footage had shown CISF personnel going on a rampage and damaging property at the airport, apparently after hearing of the death of their colleague, he said.
Additional director general of CISF Pachnanda is expected to visit the city to take stock of the situation. The police had registered a case on Saturday against a SI of the force S.S. Choudhary and 100 CISF personnel.
Police said a bullet from Choudhary’s firearm had accidentally hit the jawan, causing his death. A dispute over a CISF personnel who insisted that an official of the fire force department of the AAI undergo security clearance led to a verbal duel between the two and in the ensuing melee the jawan received fatal gunshot injuries.
