Navi Mumbai police&rsquo;s investigation in the murder of assistant inspector Ashwini Bidre has reached a crucial stage. After several searches of the Vasai Creek over many months for her mortal remains, officers have finally procured a special machine that can locate underwater objects with more accuracy.
The search operation, which the police consider will be the last that will give them a crucial breakthrough, will begin from today. Initially, Navy divers had tried to locate the trunk in which main accused Abhay Kurundkar had allegedly put Bidre&rsquo;s body parts.
After getting no success, the police had hired a private agency for the search. &ldquo;We used a gradiometer to ascertain presence of metal objects underwater, and now have nine probable spots, where an extensive search will be carried out,&rdquo; said an officer. &ldquo;The hi-tech machine, magnetometer, has arrived from Iran. We expect it will take hardly a day to complete the search.&rdquo;
Another officer said, &ldquo;Of the nine locations the gradiometer threw up, two gave off strong signals, ie the likelihood of metal objects there is high. But due to thick and hard mud underneath, it&rsquo;s hard to get the exact location. The magnetometer will tell us the exact nature of the object and its precise location, so that divers won&rsquo;t have to spend a lot of time underwater.&rdquo; A Navi Mumbai-based company facilitating the search operation will be bringing the machine, rent or expense of which hasn&rsquo;t been confirmed yet.
