Actor Dino Morea Questioned by Mumbai Police in Mithi River Desilting Scam ProbePreviousNext

Bollywood actor Dino Morea was questioned multiple times by Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) in connection with the alleged Rs 65.54 crore Mithi River desilting scam involving financial irregularities in contracts awarded by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). Investigations focus on suspected collusion between contractors, intermediaries, and officials, with Morea's name surfacing due to communications and financial links involving his brother and key accused Ketan Kadam. While some reports claimed Morea's arrest, police clarified he was only questioned and may be called again as the probe continues.
