Actor Dino Morea is facing scrutiny from the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offices Wing (EOW) for his alleged connection to the Mithi River desilting scam that involves a humongous amount of sixty-five crore rupees’ misappropriation.

The allegations suggest inflated equipment rental charges by BMC officials and others. While, the authorities are investigating Dino Morea’s involvement with these individuals as well as these transactions. This case centres around the alleged misappropriation of an amount of more than sixty-five crore rupees. Authorities originally meant these funds for the cleanliness and maintenance of the Mithi River, a vital drainage artery of the city.

Moreover, Dino’s involvement in the case is currently in the scrutiny phase; authorities are seeking clarity on his connections and transactions.
