Netflix India adds real names of hijackers to IC814 web series after massive criticism

Under pressure from the government, Netflix India on Tuesday said it included the real and code names of the hijackers of the Indian Airlines aircraft depicted in the web series ‘IC814: The Kandahar Hijack’.

The web series triggered a row after a section of viewers objected to the humane projection of terrorists and reference to their Hindu code names. They contended that distortion of the real identities of hijackers amounted to misrepresentation of historical events.
