I went through those posts.
Right now there is one route from South East towards North which Indian airliners are using to reach China. There is a diagonal path which heads towards Pakistan for some time. It has happend atleast twice or thrice when IAF jets have broken away from the cover of this commercial jet.
The reason is simple. They know PAF fighters or air defense will not engage them unless they cross into 5 nm of the border. So they are doing all sort of cheap tricks. So following this assumption, they consider the passengers to be safe.
Also during the month of Ramadan they tend to do these exercises since this is the time when they know PAF might not be at its full strength at a given time. Especially closer to Eid. On the night of 27th Ramdan there was some activity of similar nature.
