Not All Gujarati Passengers Willing to Return To India After Plane Grounded In France: Reports
Four days following the grounding of a plane transporting 303 Indians, including 96 individuals from Gujarat, France has granted permission for its departure from Vatry airport, situated 150km from Paris. The plane is scheduled to arrive in Mumbai on Tuesday.
However, it is reported that not all the Gujaratis are eager to return to India. Several are insistent on heading to Nicaragua, and approximately 12 passengers are seeking asylum in France. “These passengers had legitimate visas for Dubai and Nicaragua, and they had also paid their agent to hire a chartered flight. Hence, they were not willing to return to their country,” stated a source with a relative among the 96 Gujaratis.
On Friday, France grounded the Nicaragua-bound flight on suspicion of “human trafficking,” detaining the aircraft following a tip-off about its purported transportation of illegal immigrants from the United Arab Emirates.
