Mr. Krishna Reddy wasn’t carrying his mobile with him at that time. As he did not return home, his family members searched for him and approached the Jubilee Hills police.
The police plunged into action and checked the footage from CCTV cameras and found that Krishna Reddy was at the Jubilee Hills check-post but was not see in the CCTV feed from the next camera near a temple. This gave way to a thought that he might have gone to the bank which was in between.
