Dino Morea Appears Before ED in Mithi River Scam, Video from ED Office Goes Viral

Mithi River Scam: Bollywood actor Dino Morea's troubles are not reducing at this time. The actor appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday, June 19. The agency had summoned him in the Mithi River Desilting Scam Case of Rs 65 crore. 

Dino Morea reached the ED office

Let us tell you that in a video shared by news agency ANI on X (formerly Twitter), Dino Morea was seen entering the ED office in Mumbai. The actor wore a white shirt with blue jeans and was also seen carrying a bag in his hand. However, Dino avoided the paparazzi and entered the office directly.

ED had searched the actor's house

The incident comes a few days after the ED conducted a 14-hour long search at Dino Morea's Bandra residence. Apart from the actor's Mumbai residence, the ED also conducted simultaneous searches at 14 other locations in Mumbai and Kochi. The ED also searched the houses of Dino's brother and the premises of contractors and middlemen. The investigation is being conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

What is the whole matter?

For your information, let us tell you that this case is related to the project of removing silt from Mithi river in Mumbai, which is necessary for flood control in the city. This project was started after the devastating floods of 2005. In which the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and other civic bodies were given the contract to remove silt. A recent audit and investigation has revealed fake bills, fake work records and misappropriation of funds worth Rs 65.54 crore. The ED has started an investigation under money laundering on the basis of an FIR lodged by the Economic Offenses Wing (EOW) of Mumbai Police.

In the year 2021, ED had seized the property of the actor

The ED suspects that Dino Morea and his brother Santino had close links with Ketan Kadam, the main middleman in the scam. Kadam and Jai Joshi, who hired the dredging machine, have already been arrested. Santino, along with Kadam's wife Punita, had formed a company called UBO Rides Private Limited, whose funds are under investigation. The ED is trying to find out whether the scam money was invested in this company. Dino's role has become suspicious after his name appeared in Kadam's call records. In 2021, the ED seized Dino's properties as part of a money laundering investigation linked to an alleged bank fraud case against Gujarat-based pharmaceutical company Sterling Biotech and its promoters.
