Plane With Over 300 Indians On Board Grounded In France

The plane had been due to refuel and was carrying 303 Indian nationals, it said.

A Nicaragua-bound plane carrying more than 300 Indian passengers has been grounded in France over suspected "human trafficking", authorities said Friday.

The aircraft carrying passengers "likely to be victims of human trafficking" was detained on Thursday after an anonymous tipoff, the Paris public prosecutor's office told AFP.

The plane had taken off from the United Arab Emirates.
