Fourteen persons involved in the murder of life convict R Jegan, on August 10, have surrendered before the Judicial Magistrate Court II in Tindivanam on Monday.
The surrendered are Arun, Ayappan, Murali, Dandapani, Susairaj, Jana (alias) Parimelazhagar, Satish (alias) Ravi, Mahesh, Pokkairaja, Dileep, Sankar, Anthonysamy, Stephen and Sundar (alias) Sakthivel.
The Judicial Magistrate, Santhosh, remanded them to judicial custody till August 16 in the Cuddalore Central Prison.
Jegan, who was serving a life term and lodged in the Karaikal sub-jail, was killed on the spot when a gang hurled country-made explosives on the police vehicle when it was on the Chunnambar Bridge.
The van was carrying Jegan after being produced in a local court in Puducherry.
Police later suspected gang rivalry between Jegan and another life convict, Manikandan, as the reason behind the murder.
The police have already arrested five persons – Tamilselvan, Mani (alias) Suthi Mani, Mathiash, Selvam and Zampole – in connection with the murder.
