Netflix faced backlash after social media users and a BJP leader accused its new series "IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack" of misrepresenting the hijackers' identities, prompting them to expand a disclaimer.
Amit Malviya, a BJP official, claimed that the portrayal of the hijackers using common Hindu names could mislead future generations into believing Hindus were responsible for the hijacking of Flight IC-814.
The updated disclaimer from Netflix aims to clarify the identities of the hijackers, acknowledging both their real and code names, amidst growing tensions surrounding the series in India.
India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has taken action by summoning a Netflix executive to address concerns over the portrayal of a sensitive historical event in the series.
