Two Cases, One Actor: Dino Morea Faces Scrutiny on Two Fronts

Dino Morea appeared before the Mumbai Police Commissioner’s Office on Friday morning, not in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case or the high-profile investigation into Disha Salian’s death — but over allegations tied to the Mithi River desilting scam. The actor was summoned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), which is probing financial irregularities in a civic project initiated after the 2005 floods to improve flood management through riverbed clearance.

According to sources, discrepancies have emerged between the volume of work reported and what was actually carried out, raising concerns about misappropriation of funds meant for drainage maintenance and flood prevention. Morea’s name surfaced due to alleged associations with contractors and officials under investigation. The EOW has been building its case since last year, when the Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at 15 locations across Mumbai and Kochi, including Morea’s residence, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Those raids were part of a broader probe into potential money laundering linked to the project. While the ED action targeted financial trails, the current EOW inquiry focuses on Morea’s role in the alleged scheme. This development comes amid another legal escalation in the Disha Salian case. On September 14, 2026, the Central Bureau of Investigation registered a fresh FIR following a statement submitted by Satish Salian, Disha’s father.
