Later, in the same week, all the international flights were also suspended.
Because of the ban on all international flights, Ziebat was stranded at the Delhi Airport. Due to his criminal records, India denied him a visa and the German Embassy refused to take his custody.

An airport officer said: The German embassy informed the Indian bureau of immigration that Ziebat has several cases of assault and other crimes registered against him and that they won’t take his custody given that he is in a foreign land.
The airport authorities also tried to accommodate Zeibat on a relief flight to Ankara, Turkey. But, the Turkish authorities turned down the proposal mentioning that it was only for Turkish nationals.

Now, finally, after 50 days, Ziebat has found a way out and boarded a KLM flight to Amsterdam.
