Death Certificate Issued for Missing Assistant Inspector After Court Order and Delay
More than 10 years after assistant inspector Ashwini Bidre went missing and over a year after her murderer was convicted, her family has finally received her death certificate from the Panvel Municipal Corporation. The certificate was issued following a July 2026 magistrate order, despite months of delay and repeated appeals by her husband, Raju Gore. The absence of the certificate had hindered the family, especially their daughter, from accessing benefits. The convicted former police inspector received a life sentence, with appeals pending.
