A plane carrying about 275 Indian nationals who were held for days at an airport in France over human trafficking fears has arrived in India.
The chartered Airbus A340, which had been flying from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Nicaragua, aroused suspicion after it stopped at an airport east of Paris to refuel.
It was allowed to leave on Monday but some passengers stayed in France.
The plane landed in Mumbai early on Tuesday local time.
The Legend Airlines flight had initially been prevented from leaving Châlons-Vatry Airport, about 130km (81 miles) from Paris, after authorities received an anonymous tip-off that some passengers might be victims of human trafficking.
Two of those on board were taken into custody, while a number of others requested asylum in France, according to sources.
Most are believed to be Indian citizens working in the UAE.
French authorities reportedly suspected that the people on board might have travelling to Nicaragua before attempting to enter the US or Canada.
It was not clear whether authorities had definitively determined that no crime had been committed before allowing the plane to leave.
It is also unclear why the flight went to Mumbai instead of resuming its journey to Nicaragua.
Legend Airlines is a Romanian charter airline with a fleet of four planes, according to the online flight tracker Flightradar.
