By Will Stewart In Moscow PUBLISHED: 14:59 EST, 20 August 2012 | UPDATED: 12:21 EST, 21 August 2012 Russian police are seeking to arrest two more alleged members of the female Pussy Riot punk group who eluded them in the controversial cathedral protest against Vladimir Putin. ‘The criminal case is ongoing and a search is under way,’ disclosed a spokesman for the Interior Ministry yesterday. The move to open a new front against the balaclava-clad group - which has brought international outrage against Putin - came as chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov also faced questioning on a police claim that he 'bit' an officer arresting him.
