MUMBAI: Anita Goyal, the wife of Jet Airways founder Naresh Goyal, passed away on Thursday morning after battling cancer.
"She passed away around 3 am. She is being brought home from the hospital. Naresh Goyal is at their Mumbai residence currently," said a source close to the family. Anita Goyal is survived by her spouse and two children, Namrata and Nivaan Goyal.
Earlier this month, Naresh Goyal had sought interim bail from the Bombay High Court on medical and humanitarian grounds to be with his wife. His lawyers had stated that Anita Goyal had only months to live, and he wished to be by her side. Both the Goyals were undergoing treatment for cancer.
Naresh Goyal was arrested by the ED in September 2023 on allegations of money laundering. He had allegedly siphoned off loans worth Rs 539 crore given by Canara Bank to Jet Airways. After the ED submitted its chargesheet, Anita Goyal was also arrested in November 2023. However, due to her deteriorating health condition because of cancer, a special court granted her bail on the same day.
