Overview
- Police questioned Bollywood actor Dino Morea for a second time on Friday, October 2, 2026, after call records showed contacts between him and people linked to the desilting contracts.
- Investigators are checking bank transfers and company records, including directorships in UBO Ridez Private Limited, to see if financial links exist between the Morea brothers and the Kadam family.
- The EOW has registered 13 people in the case and arrested key suspects, including Ketan Kadam (arrested on May 7, 2025) and Jayesh Joshi, in a probe alleging a ₹65.54 crore loss to the BMC.
- The inquiry alleges tenders were written to match Matprop Technical Services machines, forcing contractors to rent that specific equipment through intermediaries at inflated rates rather than buy it.
- EOW officers say civic records were falsified to inflate reported silt removal and payments, and federal agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate are also examining possible money‑laundering links.
