Under fire from the Supreme Court over its inability to arrest absconding former minister Manju Verma, the Bihar Police on Friday asserted that it was making tremendous efforts to nab the suspended Janata Dal (United) leader.
The Supreme Court on Monday rapped the state police for failing to arrest Verma in connection with an Arms Act case, which cropped up in course of the CBI probe into the Muzaffarpur shelter home sex scandal. It directed Director General of Police K S Dwivedi to appear before it in person on November 27 if she was not nabbed by then.
In reply to a query, the DGP said Friday attempts were being made to secure her arrest. "We are making tremendous efforts."
Dwivedi said no time-frame could be given for the arrest of any person wanted in a criminal case. "Though we appreciate the concern expressed by the Supreme Court, we hope to trace her very soon."
