A one-man commission headed by former director-general of Border Security Force, Prakash Singh, has commenced its probe into the assassination attempt on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu by the outlawed People's War on October 1.
Singh, who arrived from Delhi on Thursday night, met Naidu at his residence on Friday morning.
"It was a courtesy call. I sought infrastructural help to begin my work and he has assured me that the necessary infrastructure would be provided," Singh said.
"It will be my endeavour to submit the report within the time frame [two months]," he said.
The state government had on October 3 announced Singh's appointment to look into the possible security and intelligence failures that led to the bid on Naidu's life.

The commission will make recommendations for improving the chief minister and other VVIPs' security in the state.
Naidu, his Information Technology Minister B Gopalakrishna Reddy and two legislators of the ruling Telugu Desam Party were injured in a series of claymore mines at Alipiri on the road leading to the famous temple at Tirumala on October 1.
Besides Prakash Singh, a special investigation team headed by Deputy Inspector General of Police D T Naik is also looking into the attack.
