A plane carrying about 300 Indian citizens was grounded in France for a human trafficking investigation. The passengers were sequestered for several days before being allowed to leave for India. The plane was detained after an anonymous tip raised concerns about human trafficking. The passengers, including unaccompanied minors, were questioned by French authorities. The plane departed with fewer passengers than originally on board, with 276 Indians returning to India. The Indian embassy in France and Legend Airlines expressed cooperation during the probe, denying any wrongdoing. The French judges were expected to decide whether the passengers, suspected of being victims of human trafficking, should continue to be held at the airport. The passengers arrived in Mumbai after being held in France for several days.
