Actor Dino Morea's Brother's Firm Received ₹18 Lakh From Mithi River Scam Accused: EOW
Last Updated:
Mithi River Scam: Both Dino Morea and Santino Morea were summoned and questioned twice earlier this week by the EOW.
The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police, which is investigating the multi-crore Mithi River desilting scam, found that ₹18 lakh was transferred to UBO Ridez, a company where Santino Morea- brother of Bollywood actor Dino Morea- serves as a director.
According to police officials, the funds were transferred by Ketan Kadam, one of the prime accused in the case. 'We are investigating the reason for the transfer of funds from Ketan Kadam's account to UBO Ridez," an officer from the EOW told The Times Of India.
Ketan Kadam is associated with Vodar India LLP and was arrested earlier this month for his alleged involvement in the scam related to the desilting of the Mithi River. Investigators noted that both Vodar India LLP and UBO Ridez- an electric cart company- operated out of the same address near Famous Studio in Worli, Mumbai.
Officials also confirmed that Ketan Kadam's wife, Sheetal Kadam, is a director at UBO Ridez, along with Santino Morea. Following the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), the EOW conducted a search at the company's shared office premises.
Both Dino Morea and Santino Morea were summoned and questioned twice earlier this week by the EOW in connection with the financial transaction and their association with the companies under scrutiny.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are examining financial records and company documents to determine the nature of the transaction and whether it was linked to the alleged scam.

Fake MoUs, ghost dumping sites & Kerala firm. What's Mithi river ‘desilting scam' & Dino Morea link
This has led to significant political fallout with the ruling Mahayuti accusing Shiv Sena (UBT) of corruption, particularly former state minister Aaditya Thackeray. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police, along with the Enforcement Directorate (ED), is probing the alleged multi-crore scam, and earlier this month, the police registered a case against 13 persons, including contractors and civic officials. Mumbai: At the heart of the controversy over the Mithi river desilting project in Mumbai, being carried out by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), is an alleged Rs 65 crore scam. Actor Dino Morea and his brother are among those being questioned in the case. The 18.3 km river, an arterial water body in the city, originates from Vihar and Powai lakes, which supply water to Mumbai, and flows through the city's western suburbs before joining Mahim Creek, and from there into the Arabian Sea. This river plays an important role as a natural stormwater drainage channel, carrying excess water during the monsoon. In 2005, overflow from the river was held as one of the reasons for the Mumbai deluge that claimed more than 1,000 lives. It put the state of the river, particularly the heavy pollution and silt accumulation due to settlements on its banks, in focus. Since then, BMC has been making efforts to clean the river and free it from silt and garbage before monsoon, to ensure the flow of the river is unobstructed. However, over the years, there have been allegations of corruption in the project. On 6 May, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered by a special investigation team (SIT) made up of officials from the EOW against 13 persons at Azad Maidan police station. It included five contractors, three middlemen, and two company officials. The FIR said BMC officials created tenders in a way that benefited a certain machinery supplier. Contractors then allegedly generated fake bills for transportation of the silt outside Mumbai, thereby inflicting a loss of more than Rs 65.54 crore on the civic body, it added. Also Read: Mantralaya to Marine Drive, why South Mumbai spots that have never seen flooding went underwater What does the FIR say In the FIR, Mumbai Police named BMC assistant engineer Prashant Ramugade, deputy chief engineers Ganesh Bendre and Prashant Tayshette, as well as Deepak Mohan, Kishore Menon, Jay Joshi, Ketan Kadam and Bhupendra Purohit, directors of Acute Designing, Kailash Construction Company, NA Construction, Nikhil Construction and JRS Infrastructure, respectively. Police are currently probing project work undertaken between 2021 and 2024. According to the FIR, a copy of which ThePrint has accessed, the alleged offences relate to transportation and dumping of silt, for which police say Acute Designs, Kailash Construction Company, NA Construction, Nikhil Construction and JRS Infrastructure in total submitted nine fake MoUs. BMC officers, the FIR added, did not verify the authenticity of the dumping sites mentioned in the MoUs, thus giving undue advantage to the contractors. They even approved bills based on fake documents related to the weighbridge and log sheets, the FIR said. The probe revealed that signatures of some of the landowners were forged. In some cases, MoUs were signed with people who did not own any land. According to the FIR, Deepak Mohan and Kishore Menon, who it said were also part of other companies, offered BMC silt pusher and multipurpose amphibious pontoon machines claiming to be representatives of the machinery supply company Matprop, at a cost of Rs 3.09 crore. Then, BMC officials visited the Matprop plant in Kerala. The civic body then floated a tender which had the exact same specifications as the Matprop machinery, leaving contractors no other option than to buy from them. 'We have evidence that when the contractor went to Matprop to purchase the machine, they directed him to a middleman who offered to rent the machines for two years for Rs 8 crore, and later settled for Rs 4 crore,' DCP Sangramsinh Nishandar told the media Tuesday. The FIR added that Deepak Mohan and Ketan Kadam of Matprop signed the MoUs, but machinery was rented by Virgo Specialities and Voder India for two years for Rs 8 crore—they later settled for Rs 4 crore. They also told the contractors that Jay Joshi is the owner of Virgo Specialities, and Kadam was looking after Voder India. Interestingly, Kadam is not a partner or director in either Virgo or Voder India but acted like a middleman, as did Joshi. Both were arrested earlier this month. 'This is how Matprop, in collusion with the BMC SWD division officials, forced the contractors to go to these two companies without the MoU and got more financial benefits from the contractors,' the FIR said. ThePrint reached Matprop via email for comment but had not received a response by the time of publication. This report will be updated if and when a response is received. The FIR charged BMC officials and contractors with conspiring to benefit from selling these machines at a higher rate. While the rate for desilting earlier was Rs 1,609 per metric ton, with these new machines, it went up to Rs 2,193 per metric ton. The FIR did, however, add that when BMC vigilance department objected to the inflated rate, the earlier rate was approved. The officials were also accused of making a payment of Rs 17.07 crore to the contractors. On 26 May, Joshi and Kadam were denied bail, and a court in Mumbai noted that it could not rule out that they would cause 'hurdles in the investigation' if released. 'If the accused are released on bail, the possibility of causing hurdles in the investigation cannot be ruled out,' the court held. Dino Morea link Actor Dino Morea and his brother Santino's names popped up while going through the calls and financial transactions of Ketan Kadam. According to the initial investigation, Santino repeatedly spoke to Kadam on the phone. EOW also found transactions linked to Kadam, which it said were suspicious, and was probing if they were also related to the Morea brothers. On 26 May, the brothers were questioned for eight hours, followed by another round of questioning on 28 May that went on for five hours. Politics over the alleged scam Since the Shiv Sena, before it split in 2022, controlled BMC for the last 25 years, Sanjay Nirupam from the now Eknath Shinde-led Sena allaged a link between the scam and Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray. 'Everyone in Mumbai knows that during that period, no contract could be awarded without the approval of 'Matoshree' (private residence of the Thackerays in Bandra). A total of 18 contractors were appointed for the Mithi river cleaning work during this time,' Nirupam told reporters on 26 May. 'Since (actor) Dino Morea has been questioned (in the scam) and as he is also a known associate of Aaditya Thackeray, his role must be investigated,' Nirupram added. Thackeray, while speaking to the media Tuesday, said he was happy that the desilting project is being probed. 'Whoever is guilty in this, needs to be jailed. In the Shinde regime, many scams took place, this could also be one of them, so let it be investigated.'

BJP leader Manikanta Rathod booked after his video threatening Muslims went viral
Following a complaint by one Syed Aleem Ilahi, Kalaburagi police have booked BJP leader from Chittapur Manikanta Rathod for threatening Muslim community in a video that went viral on Saturday (May 31, 2025). In his complaint, Mr. Aleem Illahi alleged that Mr. Rathod called for uprooting Muslim community and kill the perpetrators of 'Love Jihad' within eight days instigating the enmity between communities of different faiths. Based on the complaint and the video that went viral, a case was registered against Mr. Rathod at the CEN Crime Police Station in Kalaburagi under Sections 196 (promoting enmity between different groups), 197 (imputations or assertions prejudicial to national integration), 299 (outraging the religious feelings), 253 (statements conducing to public mischief) and 351 (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. In the video clip in question, Mr. Rathod is seen speaking in his Lambani language mentioning a recent rape of a Lambani girl, allegedly by Muslim youths, and calling upon his community members to settle scores against Muslims. In the disturbing video, Mr. Rathod was seen threatening mass violence against Muslims, stating that if the police were held off for just 15 minutes, all Muslims in Kalaburagi could be massacred. He also claimed that 'jihadis' must be eliminated within eight days, and went so far as to say the Muslim community should be 'uprooted'. Speaking to The Hindu, Kalaburagi Police Commissioner S.D. Sharanappa confirmed the registration of a First Information Report against Mr. Rathod. 'The FIR is registered and the investigation is on. Presently, [the] accused is not in Kalaburagi district. We will take action as per the law,' the officer said. This is not Mr. Rathod's first brush with controversy. Several cases are already booked against him in various police stations in Kalaburagi and Yadgir districts on various charges – including smuggling of PDS rice meant for beneficiaries of Anna Bhagya Scheme and threatening to murder Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and his family. Considering his involvement in criminal activities, the Kalaburagi Police had banished him from Kalaburagi district. Yadgir police had arrested him in connection with the rice theft case reported in Shahapur. The BJP had fielded the history-sheeter against Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge in Chittapur in 2023 Assembly Elections. Mr. Rathod lost the high-voltage poll battle despite many national leaders such as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath campaigning for him.

Surge in arrests of foreign nationals by Delhi Police amid crime crackdown
In a significant escalation of enforcement efforts, the Delhi Police have arrested a record number of foreign nationals involved in criminal activities this year, marking a peak in such detentions over the past few years. Although the highest number of 152 foreign criminals was arrested in 2022, the police have nearly reached that figure within the first five months of this year. According to the officials, 132 foreign nationals have been arrested as of May, a number significantly higher than in any other year except 2022. These arrests include foreign nationals accused of committing various criminal offences in Delhi. Police officials reported that a Chinese national was arrested at Indira Gandhi International Airport in May for allegedly stealing debit and credit cards from passengers on an international flight. In 2021, only 78 foreign nationals were arrested by the Delhi Police -- the lowest number in the last five years. Following this, police increased their surveillance of foreign nationals and accelerated arrest operations. These efforts yielded results, with 152 foreign nationals arrested in 2022. Police data show that in 2023 and 2024, 94 and 112 foreign nationals were arrested, respectively. This year, as of May 20, the Delhi Police have already apprehended 132 foreigners involved in various types of criminal activities. Last month, the Delhi Police arrested two foreign nationals who were part of an international drug cartel and primarily targeted college-going youths. Police officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, stated that most foreign national criminals are involved, either in drug syndicates or cyber fraud. According to sources, it has been observed in some cases that criminal-minded accused individuals overpay their rent to avoid the tenant verification process. Delhi Police officials said that a drive is being conducted against drug cartels operating in the National Capital under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan. The police are not only arresting peddlers but also investigating the forward and backwards linkages of the cartels. The increased number of arrests of foreign nationals is the result of this drive. They are mainly involved in drug cartels or cyber fraud-related crimes. Both types of criminals are being dealt with strict action as required. The official clarified that these arrests are not part of the drives being conducted nationwide against illegal immigrants residing in India. In the case of illegal immigrants, the police are focusing more on deporting them rather than filing an FIR (First Information Report) against them. Earlier, Delhi Police had reported that around 900 Bangladeshis were caught, and later, the process of deportation was initiated to send them back to their country.
