Actor Dino Morea Appears Before Mumbai Police In Mithi River Scam Probe

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Dino Morea appeared before the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing (EOW) on Monday morning in connection with the ongoing investigation into the Mithi River scam. Officials confirmed that Morea arrived today at the EOW office around 11 a.m. for questioning.

According to EOW sources, Morea was summoned after investigators discovered multiple phone conversations between him, his brother, and the prime accused, Ketan Kadam. The nature and context of these conversations are currently under scrutiny.

About The Scam

The scam involves alleged financial irregularities in the rental of silt pusher machines and dredging equipment by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The EOW alleges that Kadam and co-accused Jay 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.

Dino Morea’s name surfaced during the analysis of call records and financial transactions linked to the accused. Police officials stated that the actor’s questioning is part of the effort to verify his possible role or knowledge of the dealings between Kadam and other parties. Further investigation is underway.
