Home Minister G Parameshwara on Friday said the city police have taken necessary measures to catch the suspects who tried to murder Dasanapura APMC chief Kadabagere Srinivas.

“The police have done their best to identify suspects who opened fire at Srinivas. However, their efforts haven’t paid off yet. Some cases take time to be solved,” Parameshwara said after laying the foundation stone for the construction of new buildings to house Devarjeevanahalli and Krishnarajapuram traffic police stations.

“V Nagaraj (history-sheeter) is still at large and the police are searching for him. The police have not taken the Nagaraj and Srinivas cases lightly,” he said.
