An Airbus A340, carrying 276 passengers, predominantly Indians, was detained in France for four days over suspected human trafficking allegations. The flight, originating from Dubai, landed in Mumbai early this morning after being grounded at Vatry airport near Paris. French authorities confirmed 276 passengers boarded the plane, while 20, including five minors, sought asylum in France. The incident raises concerns amid a surge in Indians attempting illegal entry into the US, with the flight's connection to Nicaragua drawing attention. The investigation, now with France's anti-organized crime unit, carries potential severe consequences for human trafficking.
