Avdhut Shinde remains as evasive as ever. While the Mumbai police are still awaiting an answer from Dutch authorities on what to do after they find him, they are acting on his father Madhukar's complaint and trying to trace him. However, he seems to have completely gone off the grid, close to two months after his wife Sharmila was found murdered at their home in the Netherlands.

On July 10, mid-day reported in, 'The Hague police too vague, say city cops,' about the city cops writing to Dutch authorities seeking clarity on the administrative request made by them to the INTERPOL. The request allegedly mentions that the Mumbai police should only trace Avdhut and not arrest him. Calling the demand 'ambiguous', cops had asked authorities what they're supposed to do with him if they find him but cannot detain him. They're still awaiting an answer.
