Jet airways founder held at Mumbai airport

Mr and Mrs Goyel were stopped by immigration authorities at the Mumbai International Airport moments prior to boarding their London bound flight.

Sources reported that the couple was taken into custody as their flight took off.

Officials have not disclosed the reason behind the travel ban but a number of high-profile businessmen have fled India over their alleged involvement in financial crimes, causing a massive public outcry.

Reports state that following the incident the couple was seen leaving the airport not long after.

Mr and Mrs Goyle gave up their positions at Jet Airways after the Indian based International Airline was submerged under a $1.2 billion loan which left its employees unpaid since January 2019.

Established in 1992, the airline enjoyed over two decades of popularity until operations were suspended in April 2019.
