Dino Morea Questioned Again by EOW in Mithi River Case
Bollywood actor Dino Morea was questioned on Friday by Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing in the Mithi river desilting case. It is the second time he has been questioned in the probe.
Morea reached the Mumbai Police Commissioner’s Office on October 2 to join the investigation, according to news agency ANI. He was first called in May 2025 after phone records linked him to people connected with the case.
Several outlets reported on Friday that Morea was arrested after nearly eight hours of questioning at his Bandra residence, citing a Mid-Day report. The actor denied the arrest, telling the publication it was “not true.” EOW officials have not independently confirmed an arrest.
The case alleges a 65.54 crore rupee loss to the BMC in Mithi river desilting contracts. Thirteen people have been booked. Contractor Ketan Kadam was arrested in May 2025.
Investigators are checking bank transfers and company records, including the Morea brothers’ directorships in UBO Ridez Private Limited. The Enforcement Directorate raided 15 locations including Morea’s residence in June 2025.
No charges have been filed against the actor. The allegations remain under investigation.
