Actor Dino Moriya appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the sweet river cleaning scam on Wednesday. Earlier, he went to the Economic Offenses Branch (EOW) office on 26 May. In the case registered by the EOW of the Mumbai Police, the contractors have been accused of fraud and factionalism, resulting in a loss of Rs 65 crore to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
Last Friday, ED officials conducted a search operation at 18 places in Mumbai, Kochi and Thrissur. Subsequently, both the accused and the suspect persons were directed to appear in the ED’s Mumbai office for questioning. As part of the Money Laundering investigation under the Money Laundering Prevention Act (PMLA), 2002, the Central Agency seized several important items during the search operation. These include bank documents, digital devices and Rs 7 lakh cash.
On June 12, 2025, the Mithi river reached the office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Mumbai for questioning in connection with the scam. Those who do not know, tell them that the actor was initially called to appear before the ED on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, but he failed to do so.
Last week, on 6 June, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate raided Dino Moriya’s house in Maharashtra as part of an investigation into the Rs 65 crore sweet river cleaning scam case. A total of 13 people have been accused in the case. The Mumbai Police had earlier registered a case in connection with this scam, after which the ED also started its investigation.
Those who do not know, tell them that the ‘Mithi River Scam’ is associated with the sale and purchase of sluds used by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to clean the sweet river in Maharashtra. It is alleged that these machines were rented at unusually high rates from Kochi -based company Matpopp Technical Services Private Limited, which led to large financial irregularities.
