DNA test would clear doubts over Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's death, says daughter

India TV News  

A DNA test of the remains of Netaji would put to rest the doubts of people over his death, says his daughter Anita Bose-Pfaff. Prof. Bose-Pfaff makes this observation in a new book titled Laid to Rest: The Controversy over Subhas Chandra Bose’s Death by Ashis Ray. “For most of those people who continue to doubt Netaji’s death in Taihoku in August 1945, one possible option for proof would be a DNA test of the remains of Netaji — provided DNA can be extracted from the bones remaining after his cremation,” Prof. Bose-Pfaff writes in the book’s foreword. “However, as evidence became available from the mid- 1950s, the only consistent story about Netaji’s demise remains his death in a plane crash on 18 August 1945,” she writes in the book published by Roli.
