They were arrested by the investigating team yesterday after CISF authorities handed them over to police.

The nine CISF personnel have been charged under various IPC sections and also Prevention of Damage to Public Properties (PDPP) Act.

A total of 13 jawans and 10 Airports Authority of India (AAI) staff have been arrested in connection with the violent incidents which claimed the life of a CISF jawan.
