Bollywood Actor Dino Morea has been accused of being involved in an alleged scam of Rs. 65 crores. The scam is related to the funds that were allocated for the cleanup of the Mithi River in Maharashtra. The actor was summoned for questioning after a number of suspicious phone conversations between him and his two brothers, Santino Morea and Ketan Kadam were reportedly found.
What Is The Mithi River Scam?
According to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Ketan Kadam and Jay Joshi have allegedly overcharged the government body for machinery purchased from Matprop Technical Services Pvt. Ltd., a Kochi-based company. The two have been accused of overcharging for the cost of the machinery.
The scam first came to light after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) reported that debris and slit were left uncleared in multiple locations. The government body also claimed that no formal audit of the project has been conducted yet. Police officials are currently conducting a review of the phone calls and assessing their role in this alleged scam. According to The Free Press Journal, authorities are working to find out whether these calls have any relation to this Rs. 65 crore financial scam.
What Did Dino Morea Request To Seek?
According to a report by News18, the actor Dino Morea has submitted a petition for anticipatory bail just a day after being questioned by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police. Anticipatory bail, also known as pre-arrest bail, is a legal bill that allows an individual to seek bail before being arrested.
