IC814 Netflix Series: Insiders Reveal The Real Story Of Kandahar Hijack | Full Podcast
IC814 Netflix series has courted controversy over the depiction of code names of hijackers of the 1999 Indian Airlines plane in Kandahar. Many claimed that the filmmaker changed the names of the hijackers to ‘Shankar’ and ‘Bhola’ to allegedly protect the terrorists who belonged to a certain community. The real names of the hijackers were Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar Sayed, Sunny, Ahmad Qazi, Zahoor Mistry and Shakir. However, the series referred to the code names used by terrorists — ‘Bhola’, ‘Shankar’, ‘Doctor’, ‘Burger’ and ‘Chief’.
But not just this, Republic TV exclusively spoke to the IC-814’s cabin crew, co-pilot & family of other crew members who slammed Netflix for not depicting many other incidents properly in the series. So, what has transpired in those 8 days in the flight? Here’s the real & untold story of IC-814 Hijack.
Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 was hijacked on December 24, 1999. The plane, carrying 154 passengers and crew, was hijacked by five terrorists 40 minutes after it took off from Nepal’s capital Kathmandu, bound for Delhi. The hijackers, identified as members of the Pakistan-based terrorist outfit Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM), diverted the plane to Kandahar in Afghanistan, then under the control of the Taliban.
The crisis lasted for eight days, during which the terrorists demanded the release of three high-profile militants: Maulana Masood Azhar, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar. The Indian government, under immense pressure to save the lives of the hostages, ultimately agreed to release the militants. Then-External Affairs Minister Jaswant Singh personally escorted the terrorists to Kandahar, a move that remains controversial to this day.
