The recently released series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack has stirred up controversy as Captain Devi Sharan, the pilot of the hijacked flight, revealed that the show has altered and misrepresented some events from the actual incident. These reportedly include unclogging the toilet's plumbing lines and receiving a salute from the foreign minister, which were shown to be done by the pilot himself. However, Sharan clarified that in reality, a worker was sent by the Taliban authorities and the foreign minister only made a gesture to appreciate their efforts. The series has been receiving calls for boycott and a Netflix representative has even been summoned for a meeting in New Delhi regarding the backlash.
