Abducted engineer's family meets CM Chandrababu Naidu, seeks assistance
Srilalitha said Naidu has assured that he would talk to the Union minister for external affairs Sushma Swaraj.
Visakhapatnam: The family members of civil engineer M. Sai Srinivas, who was kidnapped in Nigeria, are spending anxious moments in the city as there was no further communication on his whereabouts from the Ministry of External Affairs and Indian consulate in Nigeria, even though four days have passed since the abduction.
Though the Indian government has ruled out involvement of terror group in the kidnapping saying that local criminals were involved for a ransom, there has been no money demanded so far from the kidnappers.
On Saturday evening, Srinivas’ wife Srilalita met Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in Vizag and appealed to him to take up the issue with the union government for early release of her husband.
Talking to newsmen, Srilalitha said Naidu has assured that he would talk to the Union minister for external affairs Sushma Swaraj and a few others to step up the efforts to trace Srinivas. Despite his busy schedule, Mr Naidu has given time for us, she added.
Ms Lalitha also mentioned that she would be in constant touch with Vizag MP K Haribabu, who is responsible for contacting Union minister Sushma Swaraj and Nigerian embassy officials.
Anakapalle MP M. Srinivasa Rao visited the house of the kidnapped Srinivas and consoled his family members.
