There is an uproar over Anubhav Sinha's web series 'IC 814', which was recently streamed on Netflix, and has directed many excellent films like 'Ra-One' and 'Tum Bin'. It is being said continuously on social media about the series that the names of two characters in it have been deliberately named after Hindus. People have raised questions on the codename of the kidnappers being Bhola-Shankar in the series, for which now summons have been sent to the content head of Netflix by the government.

Actually, this web series shows the true incident of hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814 from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal to Indira Gandhi Airport in Delhi in 1999 by five terrorists. This flight was landed in Kandahar, Afghanistan but before that the flight was forced to land at many places. Web series shows this entire incident

Five kidnappers were involved in this incident, who have been given codenames Burger, Bhola, Shankar, Chief, Doctor in the web series. Among these, the names Bhola-Shankar are being criticised. People expressed displeasure over these names. He says that his name was deliberately kept as Hindu, even though he was a Muslim. On this matter, BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya said that the hijackers of 'IC 814' were dreaded terrorists, who had adopted an alias to hide their Muslim identity.

He posted on X and wrote, Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha legitimised his criminal intentions by promoting their non-Muslim names. "Decades later people will think that Hindus hijacked IC 814. The leftist agenda of whitewashing the crimes of Pakistani terrorists and all Muslims has been completed. This is the power of cinema, which the communists have been using aggressively since the 70s. Maybe even before that."

Whereas former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah said that those who took films like 'Kashmir Files' as the truth of the gospel. He liked the way the events of ‘IC 814’ have been depicted in the Netflix show. It was quite entertaining to watch him melt. Now suddenly he wants precision and nuance in the script.
