Naresh Goyal, founder of the now-grounded Jet Airways, is not cooperating in the investigation in a case of alleged fraud of Rs 18,000 crore, the Centre claimed in the Delhi High Court Friday.
The government's submission came during the hearing of Goyal's plea for withdrawing his earlier petition which sought permission to travel abroad.
Goyal, in his fresh application, said the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) has started its probe into the case of alleged fraud of Rs 18,000 crore and he was extending full cooperation to the agency in the investigation and accordingly, was and not pressing for the permission to go abroad at this stage.
To this, central government standing counsel Ajay Digpaul said: "He (Goyal) is not cooperating in the investigation of the case."
