Although trigger unknown, based on the backtrace in one of the internal testing, we do see some delete in the Intf where we can have the peer ifp pointer null and we try to dereference it while trying to install the route leading to a crash
Skip updating the ifindex in such cases and since the nexthop is not properly updated, BGP skips sending it to zebra.
