His wife Sandhya was staying with her mother at Achanta. Satish called his wife Sandhya and children to his relative's house in Velivala in Palacole Mandal on July 29 and they stayed till the night of July 31.

At 11 PM on July 31, Satish along with his family left the village saying that they would go to Guntur. Nobody has heard from them since then. When the police found the belongings of the family, the relatives lodged a complaint. Palacole rural police are investigating the case.
