The police said they would be produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate here on Saturday.

The police had taken 13 AAI employees into custody soon after the violent clashes at the airport. Four of them were let go after the police examined the closed-circuit television visuals.

The police said Ajit Kumar and Sunny Thomas, two injured airport staff now in hospital, would also be included in the charge-sheet.

Reconstruct scene

The police said that they would try to reconstruct the incidents which led to the shooting and killing of the CISF jawan.

They said they would reach a conclusion only after getting the ballistic reports.
