PM urged to set up new panel to unravel Netaji disappearance mystery

India TV News  

Kolkata: Claiming the finds of the Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry into the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose were ‘incomplete', a city based organisation has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking a new panel to unravel the mystery of the leader's fate. The Netaji Chetna Mancha - an organisation of researchers - in the letter has claimed existence of evidences suggesting Netaji was active in China, Vietnam and other countries well after the alleged fatal plane crash in Taipei in 1945. Mukherjee has confessed in a documentary titled 'The Black Box of History' that the unnamed saint in Faizabad was Netaji," Jayanta Choudhury, the general secretary of the Mancha, said in the letter. Choudhury, who deposed before the Commission, has also claimed that declassified CIA reports and other documents reveal Bose was alive and active in Russia, China, Vietnam and other countries even after the alleged plane crash.
