Former Jet Airways chairman Naresh Goyal and his wife, Anita, were stopped from travelling abroad by Mumbai immigration officials on Saturday afternoon.
Goyal was offloaded from a Dubai bound Emirates flight after the aircraft was called back to the terminal around 3.40 pm as it was taxiing towards the runway of Mumbai airport. Airport officials said immigration officials called the flight back and offloaded the couple along with their checked-in luggage.
Confirming the development, Mumbai Commissioner of Police, Sanjay Barve, said, “Naresh Goyal was stopped by Mumbai police and immigration branch officials.”
Goyal and his wife had resigned from the board of Jet Airways in March and the airline announce temporary suspension of its operations in April.
