Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday publicly questioned incumbent Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu over the disappearance of a youth named Sai Krishna, demanding clarity on his status and the progress of the investigation.
Jagan's social media query
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Jagan directly addressed Naidu, asking: “Mr. @ncbn Garu, is Sai Krishna dead or alive? If he is dead, where is his body? An FIR was registered four days ago. Why aren't any arrests made yet?” The post, dated June 22, 2026, has drawn significant attention, intensifying the political heat over the case.
The missing person case pertains to Sai Krishna, a youth from Andhra Pradesh whose disappearance has sparked concerns. According to Jagan's statement, a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged four days prior to his tweet, but no arrests have been reported so far.
Political implications
The query from the opposition leader highlights the ongoing political rivalry between Jagan's YSR Congress Party and Naidu's Telugu Desam Party. Jagan's pointed questions seek to hold the state government accountable for the law and order situation and the handling of the investigation.
As of now, the Andhra Pradesh government has not issued an official response to Jagan's remarks. The case remains under investigation, with the public awaiting updates on Sai Krishna's whereabouts and the status of the probe.
