New Delhi, Aug 23 (UNI): Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday conducted raids at the premises of Jet Airways founder Naresh Goel in Delhi and Mumbai for alleged violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) Act, a probe agency official said here.
More than a dozen places including the residential premises have been raided in a bid to collect more evidence against Goel in the said violation of FEMA, officials said.
In this connection, he was also interrogated by the officials of the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in Mumbai on Thursday.

Goel stepped down as the Chairman of Jet Airways on March 25.
