Dino Morea is back in the Mumbai Police EOW’s crosshairs — this time over a Rs. 65.54 crore desilting scam tied to the Mithi River. The actor, who hasn’t been seen on screen in years, was summoned for questioning on Friday, marking his second appearance before the Economic Offences Wing this year. The probe, which began in May 2025, has now resurfaced with fresh leads from phone records. Investigators say they found communication trails linking Morea to individuals connected to the case. No charges have been filed. Not yet. But the fact that he’s being called again means something’s shifting. The EOW isn’t just chasing contractors anymore. It’s tracing networks. And Dino Morea, along with his brother Santino Rocco Morea and Punita Kadam, the wife of arrested accused Ketan Kadam. Are all directors in a company called UBO Ridez Private Limited. That’s not a coincidence. Financials between the Kadams and Santino are under scrutiny. So is how Woder India LLP, Ketan’s firm, won BMC contracts. The core allegation? A rigged system where civic records were fudged to inflate silt removal figures. Contractors were funneled to Joshi and Ketan, who allegedly rented out Matprop’s equipment at inflated rates, despite the machines being bought by BMC officials in Kochi in October 2020. The specs matched. No alternatives. Just one supplier. One price. One path. The BMC paid based on weight. The numbers were cooked. The loss? Over 65 crores. Thirteen people booked. Ketan Kadam behind bars since May. Jayesh Joshi, linked to Virgo Specialties, also arrested. The investigation is still open. Names are still coming. And if the phone logs are any guide, Dino Morea’s name might not be the last one on the list.
