A plane, held near Paris over trafficking suspicions, departs for Mumbai with 303 passengers, mostly Indians. French prosecutors cleared the Airbus A340 after two days of questioning. The charter, bound for Nicaragua, faced grounding at Vatry airport after a trafficking tip-off. Departure approval was expected today, and the plane is anticipated to land in Mumbai this afternoon. While French courts questioned passengers, some hearings were canceled due to procedural irregularities. The Indian embassy collaborated with French authorities for stranded passengers' welfare, providing consular access. Legend Airlines, the Romanian company, plans to seek damages, asserting no wrongdoing.
