Actor Dino Morea finds himself in growing legal woes as the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) cranks up the probe into the Mumbai Mithi River scam. He was again called in for questioning recently—just one day after being subjected to seven hours of interrogation. Morea has thus far refused to comment.
Key Details of the Case:
The fraud is based on hiring costly equipment—like sludge pushers and dredgers—used for desludging the Mithi River.
The machines were allegedly hired at high rates by BMC’s Storm Water Drains Department from Kochi-based Matprop Technical Services Pvt. Ltd.
The EOW suspects huge financial irregularities in the tendering and purchasing process, running into crores of rupees.
Accused and Involvement
Ketan Kadam and Jai Joshi are the main accused, accused of masterminding the scam with BMC officers and Matprop staff.
Dino Morea’s entry was exposed through call recordings and data analysis, indicating regular communication between him, his brother, and Ketan Kadam.
These developments have lent seriousness to the probe, hinting at a more deeper network of high-profile players and bureaucrats.
Current Status:
The EOW continues an exhaustive inquiry, scrutinizing every possible link.
More revelations and identities are awaited as forensic examination of communication and financial trails unfolds.
