Netaji death mystery: 82 years on, government puts end to theories

In a reply to an RTI query on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, the Narendra Modi government said that Netaji died in a plane crash.

"After considering the reports of Shah Nawaz Committee, Justice G D Khosla Commission and Justice Mukherjee Commission of Enquiry, the government has come to the conclusion that Netaji died in the plane crash on 18.08.1945," the Ministry of Home Affairs replied.

Netaji's family has hit out at the Narendra Modi government for the RTI reply. "This is highly irresponsible... How can the Centre give such a reply at a time when the matter is still pending," said Chandra Kumar Bose, Netaji's grand nephew and a BJP leader.
