The police are investigating the murder of Assistant Police Inspector Ashwini Gore-Bidre since January 2017, yet in June the same year, a letter transferring her from Thane to Wardha was released and five days later came a letter releasing her from the Protection of Civil Rights Branch, Thane. These shocking details came up in response to questions raised by Bidre's estranged husband Raju Gore.

Bidre was allegedly murdered by Senior Police Inspector Abhay Kurundkar on April 11, 2016 at his residence in Bhayander. Kurundkar is alleged to have disposed the dead body in the Vasai Creek the next day with the help of his friend Mahesh Falnikar. Bidre's family registered a missing complaint at the Kalamboli police station on July 14, 2016, three months after not being able to establish any contact with the slain officer. A rather slow police investigation later revealed that on the day she went missing, Bidre was with Abhay Kurundkar.
