Nine more personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) surrendered before the police at Kondotty on Sunday in connection with the destruction of property worth lakhs of rupees at Calicut International Airport at Karipur on June 10 night.

Four CISF men had earlier been arrested in connection with the violent incidents which caused the death of a CISF constable and heavy damage to the airport property.

The surrender of Suresh Goula, 28, from West Bengal; Subhash Chandran, 28, from Rajasthan; K.K. Gouda, 26, from Orissa; Jitendra Kumar, 27, and Arvind Yadav, 26, from Uttar Pradesh; Asweni Kumar, 23, and J.I. Natarajan, 30, from Maharashtra; Amit Tiwari, 26, from Madhya Pradesh; and Dhirendra Oran, 27, from Jharkhand followed a deal struck between the police and the CISF.

They will be produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate at Manjeri on Monday. The police had given Sunday as the deadline for the CISF men involved in the June 10 vandalism to surrender.

The police had threatened to arrest them by entering into the CISF area if they did not surrender.

A section of the CISF men on security duty at Karipur had unleashed havoc at the airport following the death of their colleague S.S. Yadav during a ruckus involving Airport Authority of India (AAI) staff and CISF personnel.
