Dino Morea Summoned By Mumbai Police In Rs 65 Crore Mithi River Desilting Scam

As per a recent Free Press Journal report, Dino Morea and his brother Santino were questioned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police earlier today in the alleged Rs 65 crore Mithi River desilting scam. Dino reportedly arrived at the EOW office for questioning around 11 am.

As per the report, Dino was summoned before the EOW after multiple phone conversations between him, his brother, and the prime accused, Ketan Kadam, were unearthed. The conversations are currently being investigated. Dino’s name came to light when the call records and financial transactions linked to the accused were being checked. He is being questioned to find out if he knows about the dealings between Keta and other parties.

News agency ANI tweeted, “Actor Dino Morea is being questioned by EOW of the Mumbai Police in connection with the Mithi River cleaning scam. His name came up in the investigation for having connections with one of the arrested accused in the matter: Mumbai police.”

What Is The Mithi River Desilting Scam?

The Mithi River Desilting Scam is about alleged financial irregularities in the rental of silt pusher machines as well as dredging equipment by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). A few weeks ago, the EOW arrested two accused — Ketan Kadam and Jayesh Joshi, who allegedly acted as intermediaries in the supply of equipment. The EOW alleges that Kadam and Joshi charged the civic body highly inflated rates for machinery procured from Kochi-based firm Matprop Technical Services Pvt. Ltd. Investigators believe this was done in collusion with executives from Matprop and officials from the BMC’s Storm Water Drains (SWD) department.
