The aircraft, an Airbus A340, had been detained at Vatry airport near France before finally landing in Mumbai at around 4 am. The flight, operated by a Romanian company, had originated from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and was grounded in France after concerns of human trafficking arose. French authorities confirmed that 25 individuals, including two minors, expressed interest in seeking asylum and were still in France. Two others were released after appearing before a judge and were placed on assisted witness status, as reported by a French news channel.
