Reddy had left Hyderabad on a chopper at 8.30am for Tirupati accompanied by his secretary and chief security officer but after 9.25am radio contact was lost. This was when the chopper entered the thickly forested, Naxalite-infested Nallamalla hill range.

“We hope that he would be safe but we could not establish any contacts as the forest is dense and heavy rains are continuing in the area,” state Finance Minister K Roshaiah said.
