Five officials of Kerala's Puttingal Devi temple, who were reportedly missing after a massive fire ravaged the crowd during a fireworks display in Kollam district, have surrendered.

Hundred and nine people were killed in the tragedy. Over 10,000 people were present at the temple, about 70 kilometres from the state capital Thiruvananthapuram, to watch a fireworks display at a major annual festival late on Saturday night, which went awry and led to a massive blaze.

Police have registered a case of attempt to murder against the five officials.
