The 60-year-old Congress leader, who led the party to a remarkable victory in the recent Assembly and Lok Sabha polls, left Hyderabad for Chitoor at 0835 hours IST in a twin-engined Bell helicopter which lost contact an hour later. There was no trace of the helicopter, which got lost in bad weather.

“There is no good news yet. We are keeping our fingers crossed. Our prayers are with Rajasekhara Reddy and his family,” Chidambaram said more than ten hours after the helicopter lost contact with the ATC at 0935 hours IST.

“Tomorrow (Thursday) in the first light of the day, helicopters will continue the search,” Chidambaram said, who is supervising the search operation.

However, a sombre Home Minister said the search on foot by forest and revenue officials will continue through the night. Police and CRPF personnel are also conducting search operations on foot.

He added that a police team under Deputy Superintendent of Police Venkatnarayna is searching Atmakur taluk. The SP and other senior district officials have already reached the spot where the helicopter landed.

Due to bad mobile connectivity and the area being heavily forested, officials have so far failed to make any contact with the Chief Minister sending security agencies into a tizzy.

Four Army helicopters have been pressed into service to locate Reddy. While three helicopters have been brought in from Bangalore, one of the helicopter has been sent from Hyderabad.

Even though the area is not Naxal-affected but there was panic as the officials have not been unable to contact Reddy.

While some sources claimed that Reddy had been traced and taken to Kurnool guest house after a four-hour frantic search involving Army helicopters and security agencies but there has been no official confirmation of it.
