Just in: Eight fire and safety officials of the Airport Authority of India have been arrested in connection with the Karipur airport violence that led to the death of a CISF jawan.

Flight operations at the Karipur international airport in Kerala resumed yesterday after an over six-hour shutdown following Wednesday night's violent clashes between the Central Industrial Reserve Force and the Airport Authority of India personnel that left a jawan dead, prompting the authorities to book 15 people for murder.

Senior officers from the civil aviation ministry, directorate general of civil aviation, the bureau of civil aviation security, the AAI and the security directorate have been rushed to the airport to take stock of the situation, official sources said.
