IC 814 The Kandahar Hijack: Important Clarifications
In the recent series 'IC 814: The Kandahar Attack,' Captain Devi Sharan, the pilot of the hijacked flight IC 814, reveals notable inaccuracies regarding the events depicted.
- Incorrect Plumbing Scene: Contrary to the show, Sharan states he did not handle plumbing issues personally. A worker sent by the Taliban authorities was responsible.
- Foreign Minister's Gesture: The portrayal of Minister Jaswant Singh saluting is also misrepresented; Sharan mentions that it was merely a gesture of appreciation, not a formal salute.
IC 814 was hijacked in December 1999, resulting in significant international negotiations over the release of hostages and high-profile militants. The series has sparked considerable debate and calls for its ban.
