French authorities detain a flight bound for Nicaragua, carrying 303 Indians, primarily from Punjab and Gujarat, over suspected human trafficking. Indian citizens, safe in judicial custody, await legal proceedings. A detailed report is submitted to the Indian government, and deportation efforts will be pursued. The Romanian-owned aircraft, operated by Legend Airlines, was grounded during a technical halt near Paris. The investigation involves concerns about potential human trafficking, emphasizing the majority from Punjab and Gujarat.
