Mithi River Scam: Both Dino Morea and Santino Morea were summoned and questioned twice earlier this week by the EOW.

The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police, which is investigating the multi-crore Mithi River desilting scam, found that ₹18 lakh was transferred to UBO Ridez, a company where Santino Morea- brother of Bollywood actor Dino Morea- serves as a director.

According to police officials, the funds were transferred by Ketan Kadam, one of the prime accused in the case. “We are investigating the reason for the transfer of funds from Ketan Kadam’s account to UBO Ridez," an officer from the EOW told The Times Of India.

Ketan Kadam is associated with Vodar India LLP and was arrested earlier this month for his alleged involvement in the scam related to the desilting of the Mithi River. Investigators noted that both Vodar India LLP and UBO Ridez- an electric cart company- operated out of the same address near Famous Studio in Worli, Mumbai.

Officials also confirmed that Ketan Kadam’s wife, Sheetal Kadam, is a director at UBO Ridez, along with Santino Morea. Following the registration of a First Information Report (FIR), the EOW conducted a search at the company’s shared office premises.

Both Dino Morea and Santino Morea were summoned and questioned twice earlier this week by the EOW in connection with the financial transaction and their association with the companies under scrutiny.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are examining financial records and company documents to determine the nature of the transaction and whether it was linked to the alleged scam.
