The Bombay Economic Offences Wing (EOW), probing the multi-crore Mithi river desilting scam, said that Rs. 18 lakh was received by UBO Ridez, a company in which actor Dino Morea’s brother, Santino, is a director, from arrested accused Ketan Kadam. An officer said that the EOW was probing why the amount was transferred.
Kadam is associated with Vodar India LLP and he was arrested earlier this month for his alleged role in the desilting scam. According to the police, Vodar India and UBO Ridez, an electric cart company, operated from the same address at Worli in Bombay. The office was searched after registration of an FIR. Kadam’s wife is also a director in UBO Ridez.
The EOW earlier this week questioned Dino and Santino twice in this case.
