IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack faces new controversy over uncredited footage
This lawsuit adds to the series' ongoing controversies. Earlier, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack faced backlash for its use of 'Hindu' codenames for the hijackers, sparking accusations of misrepresentation. The series, based on the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC 814, used codenames such as 'Bhola' and 'Shankar' for the terrorists.
