Srinagar, June 12 Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Friday said that he would enquire about the details of the mysterious disappearance of a 47-year-old scientist from Kaiga Nuclear Power Plant in Karnataka.

"When I will go back to Delhi, I will find out. I will find out what efforts have been made," Chidambaram told media persons here on Friday.

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which guards the plant and local police, have launched a joint operation to trace scientist, N Mahalingam, who went missing five days ago.
