\nPARIS:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

A plane carrying 276 Indian passengers took off on Monday for Mumbai, the French interior ministry’s local office said, after it was\u00a0grounded\u00a0for four days pending investigation into possible human trafficking.<\/p>\n

The flight, carried out by Romanian charter company Legend Airlines, had departed from Dubai and landed at the small Vatry airport on Thursday for a technical stopover when police intervened, the Marne prefecture said in a statement.<\/p>\n

After being interrogated by police, two people investigated for human trafficking have been placed under “assisted witness” status while the investigation continues, according to the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n

Another 25 people, including five minors, have stayed in France where they wish to seek asylum, authorities said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
