Lost every hope of life, better to die in jail and face destiny: Goyal to court with folded hands

MUMBAI: Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal, an accused in the alleged fraud of Rs 538 crore at Canara Bank, on Saturday told a special court here with “folded hands” that he had “lost every hope of life” and it will be “better if he dies in jail” than living in his present condition.

The septuagenarian, who turned teary-eyed, submitted that he misses his wife Anita very badly and said she is in the advanced stage of cancer, according to court records.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Goyal on September 1 last year in connection with the alleged bank fraud. He is currently in judicial custody at Arthur Road jail here.
