Snooping on Bose family proof of Netaji being alive after 1945

India TV News  

Kolkata: While the declassified West Bengal government files may not provide "conclusive" proof of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose being alive after 1945, researchers asserted that the documents reflect that even the Indian government post Independence did not buy the "Taiwan plane crash" theory. Researchers and some Bose family members believe that the snooping was a result of the Indian government not buying the plane crash theory and believing that Netaji was still alive. Chandrachur Ghose, founder member of 'Mission Netaji, an organisation spearheading the declassification campaign, also opined that snooping on the Bose family was testament of the Indian government believing Netaji to be alive after 1945. Another Netaji researcher Purabi Roy too said the motive behind the snooping could be the "disbelief" of the government in the plane crash theory.
