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. "Poor villagers from Punjab and Gujarat wanted to enter the US through Nicaragua," reveals a source. The legal process is scheduled for the coming week, with India actively involved in ensuring the well-being of its citizens.
