Body of jawan taken to Kochi airport

Body of slain jawan, Jaipal Yadav, who lost his life in last night's clash between CISF and AAI personnel, has been handed over to CISF authorities after postmortem, police said.
There was a delay of 90 minutes on the part of CISF to receive the body, they said.
The body has been taken to Nedumbassery airport at Kochi by road from where it will be flown to Delhi, police added.
Flight operations resumed at the Karipur international airport near here today after an over 6-hour shutdown following last night's violent clashes between CISF and AAI personnel that left a jawan dead, prompting the authorities to book 15 people for murder.

Forensic officials went to the airport to probe the shooting incident in which the CISF jawan was killed during the clash.
Yesterday, a dispute over a CISF personnel who insisted that an official of the fire force department of Airport Authority of India (AAI) undergo security clearance led to a verbal duel between the two and in the ensuing melee the jawan received gunshot injuries and was killed.
