Dino Morea questioned in ₹65.54 crore Mithi River scam

Bollywood actor Dino Morea underwent approximately seven hours of questioning by the Mumbai Police Economic Offences Wing (EOW) regarding an alleged ₹65.54 crore desilting scam involving the Mithi River.

The investigation centers on financial irregularities in contracts awarded by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for river desilting. Authorities are probing allegations of inflated equipment rental costs and fraudulent billing. Morea’s involvement follows the discovery of suspicious call records and potential financial transactions between him, his brother Santino Rocco Morea, and Ketan Kadam, the owner of Vodar India LLP, who has already been arrested.

Investigators are examining Morea’s role as a director in Ubio Rides Private Limited alongside Kadam and Punita Kadam. The probe, which includes scrutiny under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), is being conducted by both the Mumbai Police and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
