After a meeting with senior police officials in Kurnool district,the state police chief told reporters that at present,only about 300 additional police personnel were deployed there.

Meanwhile,Anantapur District Collector B Janardhan Reddy and Superintendent of Police Syed Shahnawaz Qasim reviewed the situation this evening and also discussed on Sai Baba’s health condition with doctors.

“Doctors attending on Sai Baba have expressed their concern over his fluctuating blood pressure and he may be dialysed again tomorrow morning,” the Collector told PTI over phone.
