IC 814 flight engineer Anil Jaggia, in a book that he wrote about the hijacking, shared that a hijacker, code-named 'Burger', "sincerely" apologised to him after negotiations had ended. He wrote he gave a torch as a gift to him, which left 'Burger' confused. "'Why this torch?' he asked. 'Light will guide you to...correct path,' I said," Jaggia wrote.
