One of the pictures released has the accused sporting a clean-shaven and bald look, which the cops believe is similar to his current profile. The police are having a hard trouble catching him because he is not using his cell phone and hasn’t contacted his family or friends so far.

Relevant phone numbers:

• Kamakashipalya Police Station (080-22942517)
• West Division Control Room (080-22943232)

It has been six days since a 24-year-old woman was attacked with acid in the heart of Bengaluru and till date, there has been no success in arresting the accused, Nagesh. After mounting pressure, the police have strengthened the efforts and now 7 teams have been formed to arrest him at the earliest.

Last Thursday, Nagesh allegedly threw one-litre acid at the victim after she rejected his marriage proposals. According to the victim's statement, he had been stalking her for many years and wanted to marry her. As she was waiting for the office to open, she saw Nagesh approaching her with an acid bottle. She tried to run, but he chased her down and poured acid on her and fled.
