Jet Airways Scam: "There is no hope, it would be better if I die in jail," folded-hands Naresh Goyal said in court

In a special court here on Saturday, Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal folded his hands and said that he had given up on life and that it would be better to be imprisoned than to continue living in this condition. Goyal is accused of defrauding Canara Bank out of Rs. 538 crore. Simply pass away.

According to court documents, a tearful-eyed Goyal, 70, claimed he misses his wife Anita, who is nearing the end of her disease. On September 1st of last year, Goyal was taken into custody by the ED on suspicion of bank fraud. He's being held at Arthur Road Jail under judicial custody right now. He had submitted his bail application before MG Deshpande, the Special Judge.

He was brought before the court on Saturday, and the judge granted his plea for a brief personal hearing during the proceedings. As per the 'Roznama' (daily hearing record) kept by the court, Goyal expressed with shaking and folded hands that his health had declined. His sole daughter is ill, and his wife is bedridden. Even prison staff, he noted, has limitations on how much they can assist.
