Netflix released ‘IC 814’, based on the 1999 Kandahar Hijack
Netizens are accusing the series of whitewashing terrorism by depicting the 1999 hijackers with non-Muslim names, igniting claims of "Hinduphobia."
Critics, including BJP’s Amit Malviya, claim Sinha’s portrayal in ‘IC814’ might mislead people into thinking Hindus conducted the hijacking.
The IB Ministry has summoned Netflix's content head over the controversy.
A BOOM report references a 6 January 2000 Union Home Ministry document stating that "Shankar" and "Bhola" were code names used by the hijackers, along with "Chief," "Doctor," and "Burger."
