The Indian government summoned Netflix India's content chief, Monika Shergill, over the series "IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack". The show's portrayal of hijackers has sparked controversy, with critics accusing Netflix of downplaying their Pakistani origins. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry wants Shergill to explain the allegedly contentious aspects of the series. The show is based on the 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight IC 814 by Pakistan-based Harkat-ul-Mujahideen. The government meeting aims to address concerns raised by citizens and officials about the show's accuracy and sensitivity. The outcome of the meeting is awaited.
