We will fly to US soon: Jet chief

New Delhi: Jet Airways chairman Naresh Goyal has been in the news for alleged links with the underworld.
CNN-IBN spoke to Goel on the speculations about the mafia investing in Jet.
Said Goel, “Unfortunately this is completely wrong. I have spoken to Rajdeep Sardesai (Editor-in-Chief, CNN-IBN) and everybody else is saying that everything is false. We are going to start flying to the USA soon.”
So what about the Police Commissioner of Mumbai who was asked to submit a report of the case and also asked whether he and his team who probed the case would need the Central Bureau of Investigation’s help?
“There is no question of denying that. How would we be have been allowed to fly if there was any truth in the reports? We have been given clearance by the US state department and the government of India and are going to resume our flights to US from August 5," said Goel.
The Bombay High Court on June 21 had asked the Mumbai police to file a report on the alleged underworld link of Goel.
The court had listened to a public interest litigation that alleged the Intelligence Bureau and had found Goel’s links with gangster Dawood Ibrahim and got funds from the underworld.
