The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court at Manjeri on Thursday denied bail to nine Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel who were in remand in connection with the June 10 violence at the Karipur airport.
Judge S. Jayakumar John refused to grant them bail on the ground that the investigation was in the initial phase and giving bail at this stage would encourage them to go into hiding.
The judge observed that it would be difficult for the investigation team to find them as they were from different States.
Suresh Goula, 25, from West Bengal; Subhash Chander, 28, from Rajasthan, Kamalkanth Gouda, 26, from Odisha; Jitendra Kumar, 27, from Uttar Pradesh; Arvind Yadav, 26, from Uttar Pradesh; Aswani Kumar, 23, from Jharkhand; Amit Tiwari, 26, from Madhya Pradesh; Dheerendra Oran, 27, from Jharkhand; and G.A. Natraj, 30, from Maharashtra were remanded in judicial custody three days ago after they surrendered before Circle Inspector (Kondotty) B. Santhosh.
