Naresh Goyal Seeks Discharge in Jet Airways Money Laundering Case Amid Market Condition Claims
Naresh Goyal, founder of Jet Airways, has filed a discharge plea in a money laundering case, attributing the airline's 2019 financial crisis to adverse market conditions like rising fuel prices and competition, denying any fraudulent conduct. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) alleges he orchestrated systemic fraud, siphoning Rs 538.62 crore from loans given by Canara Bank. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has yet to file a chargesheet three years after the FIR. Goyal, currently on medical bail, claims no personal benefit and challenges the prosecution's evidence.
