"Unraveling the 'Donkey Flight' Enigma: Toddler's Solo Trip Exposes Migration Racket"

Gujarat police are investigating a case involving a two-year-old boy from Gujarat who was found unaccompanied on a flight grounded in France over human trafficking suspicions. The flight, which originated from India and was headed to Nicaragua, was carrying 303 passengers, including several unaccompanied minors. The child is currently untraceable, and authorities are concerned he may be part of a human smuggling operation that uses fake families to increase the chances of obtaining US asylum. This incident is part of a larger trend of unaccompanied Indian children being abandoned on US borders, with a significant increase in such cases reported between 2020 and 2023.
