Search for Bidre’s body in Vasai creek to resume

Navi Mumbai: Crime Branch sleuths will soon resume the search for the body of assistant police inspector Ashwini Bidre in Vasai creek, after a private firm begins its study on Wednesday. The operation has been planned in collaboration with Dunnimaa Engineers & Divers Enterprises Private Limited, an underwater air and mix gas diving service provider.

The Nerul-based firm will first study the seabed and the pattern of the water, and the wind flow before the actual search with the gradiometer, which will be imported. “The idea is to minimise the use of gradiometer as it is a very costly instrument,” an official said.
