Goyal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on September 1 in a money laundering case initiated on the basis of a first information report registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The CBI case stemmed from a complaint filed by Canara Bank for an alleged fraud involving ₹7,000 crores.
Goyal approached the sessions court for bail after the Bombay High Court rejected his plea challenging his arrest and seeking his release.
When Goyal appeared before the special court on January 6, he broke down in court and requested the judge not to provide him any medical treatment saying he has lost all hope in life and would rather die in prison.
Following this, on January 9, the special judge permitted Goyal to consult private doctors for a medical checkup.
