PIL in Delhi High Court Seeks Ban on Anubhav Sinha's 'IC 814' Over Hindu Names
Sep 2, 2024, 01:14 PM
The release of the mini-series 'IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack' has sparked controversy and legal challenges in India. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking a ban on the series, alleging it distorts the identities of the terrorists involved in the 1999 hijacking incident. The series, directed by Anubhav Sinha and released on Netflix, is accused of changing the hijackers' names to Hindu ones, such as 'Shankar' and 'Bhola', which were reportedly code names used by the hijackers. According to a statement by the Union Home Minister, these names were indeed used as code names. The series has been criticized for exercising artistic licence in a manner that some perceive as whitewashing terror and manipulating Hindu sentiments. The controversy has drawn reactions from various political figures and commentators, highlighting the sensitive nature of portraying historical events in media.
