Dino Mauria and his brother questioned on relationship with middleman arrested in sweet river case
The Economic Offenses Branch of Maharashtra Police (EOW) questioned actor Dino Mauria and his brother on Monday for eight hours on Monday for an alleged relationship with a middleman arrested in connection with the scam related to silt from the sweet river. The officers provided this information. An official said that the actor and his brother Sentino reached the Economic Offenses Branch Office at the Mumbai Police Commissioner’s Office Complex in South Mumbai today.
How did Dino Mauria get a connection with this case?
He said that Mauria and his brother were questioned about his alleged relationship with the middleman arrested in a silt withdrawal scam of Rs 65 crore. The police had registered a case against 13 people including contractors and municipal corporation officials in connection with the alleged scam of Rs 65 crore related to the sweet river flowing through the city earlier this month.
Contractors made fake bills to take silt out of Mumbai
According to the official, the Economic Offenses Branch had come to know that Dino and Sentino had interacted several times with the arrested middleman Ketan Kadam. It is alleged that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials had prepared a tender for the contract to extract silt, so that a particular supplier of machinery required for the work would benefit. Police say the contractors made fake bills to take the silt out of Mumbai and the municipal corporation suffered a loss of more than Rs 65.54 crore due to the entire scam.
What was the sweet river cleaning scam case?
