Dino Morea Arrested By Mumbai EOW In Alleged ₹65.54-Crore Mithi River Scam After Eight-Hour Questioning

The Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) questioned an actor at his Bandra residence in connection with an alleged financial irregularities probe involving contracts for the desilting and rejuvenation of the Mithi River. Authorities alleged that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) suffered a loss of approximately ₹65.54 crore through this scheme. The investigation centers around contractors, intermediaries, and civic officials, examining suspicious financial transactions and phone records linked to individuals under scrutiny.

Following eight hours of questioning, initial reports surfaced claiming the actor had been arrested. However, the actor denied these claims through messaging, and the EOW had not independently confirmed any arrest at the time of reporting. Investigators previously questioned the actor and his brother in May 2025 regarding phone contacts and financial transactions involving a company named UBO Ridez. The wider probe has also seen enforcement agencies search the actor's residence and arrest another individual named Ketan Kadam in 2025.
