Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 8 - Two men with criminal records who were reportedly travelling with Muthoot business group scion Paul M. George on the night he was murdered, surrendered before a court in Tamil Nadu Tuesday, police said here.

According to Mohammed Shafi, deputy superintendent of the Kerala Police, Om Prakash and P. Rajesh surrendered before the Judicial First Class Magistrate J. Jayvel in Palayamcottai in Tirunelveli.

Shafi said the two men would be brought here soon.

Prakash and Rajesh surrendered in a case of attempted murder that took place in 2004. They were remanded in judicial custody and send to the Palayamcottai jail.

Earlier Tuesday, the Congress-led opposition stalled the working of the Kerala assembly demanding that Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan resign for allegedly misleading legislators on the probe into the murder of Paul M. George.

George, 32, was killed Aug 21 midnight near Alappuzha while he was travelling with Om Prakash and Rajesh, both of whom have criminal records. The police have since arrested K. Satish, who the police claim stabbed George, and 18 others for their role in the crime.

Opposition leaders moved towards the speaker's podium in the assembly after Speaker K. Radhakrishnan refused permission for an adjournment motion moved by Congress legislator Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan.

Radhakrishnan pointed out that a TV channel had Monday night reported that a blacksmith called Prasad in Alappuzha had made a knife as per the directions of investigating officer K.A. Thomas. And it was this knife that the police say Satish used to kill George.
