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.

Dino Morea questioned in Mithi river desilting case
Bollywood actor Dino Morea and his brother Santino were questioned by the Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police in connection with alleged irregularities in contracts related to the desilting of the Mithi river in the city on May 27, a day after the duo were interrogated for about seven hours. The wing had earlier this month arrested two alleged middlemen - Ketan Kadam and Jay Joshi - in the case. They were produced in court and are currently in judicial custody. The two were among 13 people booked by the wing for the alleged fraud. The allegations against them include that they overcharged Mumbai's civic body, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), for dredging and other equipment. Morea, however, will be next seen in Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film is set to release in theatres worldwide on June 6, 2025.

Actor Dino Morea Summoned By Mumbai Police's EOW In Mithi River Scam
Last Updated: Dino Morea Mithi River Scam: Actor Dino Morea has been summoned by the Economic Offences Wing of Mumbai Police in connection with the Mithi River desilting scam. According to EOW sources and as quoted in Free Press Journal, Dino Morea was called in for questioning after investigators found several phone calls between him, his brother Santino Morea, and key accused Ketan Kadam. The content and purpose of these calls are now being examined. The scam involves suspected misuse of funds in renting silt-pushing and dredging machines by the BMC. The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) claims that Kadam and Jay Joshi charged the civic body much more than the actual cost for machines taken from Kochi-based Matprop Technical Services Pvt. Ltd.
