IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack: A Chilling Story
Captain Devi Sharan, the pilot of the hijacked IC 814 Indian Airlines flight, faced unimaginable horror in December 1999. The 1999 hijacking during his flight from Kathmandu to Delhi led to a weeklong ordeal with armed hijackers, ultimately forcing him to land in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The hijackers demanded the release of notorious terrorists in exchange for the safety of 150 hostages.
Ghostly Experiences Revealed
Years later, Captain Sharan described a frightening experience at a hotel in Sharjah, UAE, known for ghost stories. This revelation is documented in the latest book, The Maz Files: Scoops, Scams And Showdowns. The tale unfolds as he recounts an eerie night spent in the Holiday Inn notorious for its ghostly guests.
Captain's Letters Shed Light
In April 2007, while investigating the hotel’s haunted reputation, Sharan shared his experiences in a letter detailing his haunting stay. The hotel had become a hub for airline staff, yet the untold stories of its haunted halls stirred unease in even the most seasoned pilots.
