The CBI sources said that Superintendents Ravikumar and Sivaswamy, Inspectors Suresh Kumar, Dinesh Prajapati Avijit Chakraborthy and a passenger Nagoor Meeran were arrested on charges of corruption.
Following complaints from the travelling public, the CBI sleuths carried out a surveillance at the Tiruchi airport and raided the suspects.
