Worried by his son going missing mysteriously, Patel Reddy approached Siddipet Police who spoke with Delhi Airport terminal AIG. The Airport Authorities, who went through the CC footage at the airport, said Sai Kiran was seen leaving the airport on December 5 late at night. He along with another Jawan and local Doctor Manish Sharma travelled by a local train to reach Faridkot. On December 6 early morning, the Jawan and the doctor got down at Bathinda, but Sai Kiran failed to join the Regiment at Faridkot. The investigation officials said the last location on the basis of mobile phone signal was at Jakan in Haryana on December 6.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister T Harish Rao and Commissioner of Police D Joel Davis also spoke with various officials to know the progress of investigation into the missing case.

Patel Reddy said that Sai Kiran, who joined the Regiment six months ago after completing the mandatory training, had reached home on November 16 on a 20 day leave.
