Late in the evening of June 10, a section of the staff at Kozhikode airport clashed violently with personnel of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), leading to the death of a Head Constable, and triggering a rampage that forced the airport to shut down for several hours.

Officials on both sides concede, however, that the force tasked with securing India’s airports has had frequent run-ins with the many other agencies with which they share their operational space — and that tensions, manifested in ego clashes and simmering mistrust, retain the potential of becoming flashpoints.
