The body of slain Border Roads Organisation personnel Maniyappan Raman Kutty was flown to his native place in Kerala [Images] from New Delhi on Friday morning.

Kutty's body, which was flown to Delhi from Kabul Thursday evening, was airlifted to Thiruvanthapuram in an Indian Airlines flight IC-167 from the International Airport.

The mortal remains of the 36-year-old BRO driver would be taken to Chingoli village in Allapuzha for cremation later on Friday.
