Freed prisoners stranded in Malaysia due to unavailability/suspension of flights to Pakistan. Passengers with their heads shaven apparently were released from Malaysian prisons.

Some of them had overstayed in Malaysia with expired visa due to suspended Pakistan flights, according to news sources.

Thats a very unfortunate thing to happen that the under lying cause is lack of flight for these people due to Air route over India closure. While in newspapers and social media this news is portrayed as freeing of prisoners !!
