I would (from a peering perspective) see this as a configuration error where somebody/someone botched a configuration change in a specific network router.
Partly because a) seeing as the reports is sequentially numbered, b) as - already pointed out - it is either /30 or /29. c) thou I'm puzzled about the /27 leaked https://bgpstream.com/event/78122 Somebody noticed, somebody or another fixed the error in silence and said nothing afterwards. Sadly, No route-maps or the like were in place to prevent the prefix leaks from happening. That in it-self should be stuff for the people at Origin ASN 9498 (BHARTI Airtel Ltd.) to think a little "harder" about in the future. "Routers mostly only fail because of the selected many people managing them."
