MUMBAI/DELHI: In a scene right out of a Hollywood action movie, Emirates flight EK-507 carrying Jet AirwaysNSE -0.94 %’ founder Naresh Goyal and wife Anita was forced by Mumbai immigration to return to the bay, where they were offloaded, after it had already started taxiing.
Goyal’s ‘grounding’ comes weeks after his airline, the largest in India for a long time, was grounded when it ran out of financial fuel. Government sources said a lookout circular (LOC) had been issued by the Serious Frauds Investigation Office (SFIO), under the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA), as per a November 2018 home ministry notification giving powers to public sector banks to prevent wilful defaulters and fraudsters from fleeing the country.
