French authorities grounded an aircraft carrying 300 Indian citizens due to a human trafficking investigation.
They were on a charter flight operated by Romania-based Legend Airlines from the United Arab Emirates to Nicaragua.
The Airbus A340 was grounded at Vatry Airport in France after a tip-off about potential human smuggling.
Two individuals have been detained, and the passengers are being questioned by special investigators.
It is unclear what specific type of trafficking is alleged, and whether their intended destination was the US, where Indian migration has increased.
The stranded passengers are being provided with accommodation, meals, medical care, and consular support while the investigation continues.
