Why Netflix India content head has been summoned today?
Top government sources claimed on monday that Shergill was ordered to appear before the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on tuesday to address the purportedly divisive elements of the web series.
The television series "IC 814," which dramatizes the 1999 hijacking of indian Airlines Flight IC 814 by the Pakistan-based terrorist group Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, caused a stir on social media when it revealed that two of the hijackers were only identified by their Hindu codenames.
The show features a group of hijackers going by the codenames Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola, and Shankar. But the usage of the names Bhola and shankar caused a great deal of controversy, with many criticising Anubhav Sinha, the director of the series. They argue that the information that the hijackers were five Muslim terrorists, two of whom employed Hindu names, should have been brought up in the show.
