Discover the mystery surrounding the death of Subhash Chandra Bose. Here are some confusing facts and lingering questions about his demise.
Netaji led the Indian National Army, seeking support from Japan during World War II for the freedom struggle.
Despite being part of the Allied Forces, Netaji planned to move to the Soviet Union due to ideological differences.
On August 18, 1945, Netaji's plane crashed and involved stops in Saigon, Taiwan, and Manchuria.
The crash caused him severe injuries, which eventually led to his death in a military hospital. This sparked conspiracy theories that questioned the official account of what really happened?
Conspiracy theories include his survival, disguise as Gumnami Baba, and potential geopolitical motives for faking his death.
Reports such as the Figgess Report (1946), the Shah Nawaz Committee (1956), and the Khosla Commission (1970) were appointed to uncover the truth.
Suresh Chandra Bose, Netaji's brother, expressed concerns about crucial evidence being withheld during investigations.
The Gumnami Baba theory gained popularity after the conspiracy, leading to inquiries, including one in 1999 by retired Supreme Court judge Manoj Kumar Mukherjee.
Later, investigations confirmed the official account of Netaji's death in the 1945 plane crash, but conspiracy theories still exist.
