Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal in trouble as ED may go for independent audit
New Delhi: In mounting trouble for Jet Airways and its founder Naresh Goyal, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is likely to initiate an independent probe into the books of the cash-strapped airlines, which has been under the scanner for alleged diversion of funds, a person familiar with the development said.
This comes in the wake of the probe agency quizzing Goyal last week, following which the agency found gaps in an audit carried out by the State Bank of India (SBI), which – according to a report by Business Standard – did not go into the details of funds trails and the alleged diversion of funds.
An official familiar with development said the agency would “decide how to proceed as the investigation is still on and some gaps have been observed”.
