Dino Morea Gets Second ED Summons in Mithi River Desilting Scam Case

Dino Morea Gets Second ED Summons: Bollywood actor Dino Morea is in the news these days for the Mithi River Desilting Scam Case. This summons has been sent 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 has conducted simultaneous searches at 14 other places in Mumbai and Kochi. 

Dino Morea appeared before ED again

Let us tell you that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a new summons to him. Dino Morea, who came under the radar of investigating agencies related to the Mithi River scam, was earlier questioned by the ED. Earlier on June 12, his statement was recorded at the ED office in Mumbai. Sources have revealed that the ED has asked Dino to appear for questioning again on June 18. Earlier on June 6, the ED took cognizance of the matter and raided the actor's house in Bandra.

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, the 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.
