UPA concluded Netaji died in plane crash, says report

The UPA had rubbished the findings of an inquiry commission into the death of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose headed by Justice Manoj Mukherjee in 2006, a UK website said on Wednesday.

Bosefiles.info released what it describes as a “secret” intra-government letter, which confirms rejection of the Mukherjee Commission’s findings that Netaji may not have died in a plane crash in Taipei on August 18, 1945.

The website reports: “On 9 May, 2006 a Cabinet meeting of the Manmohan Singh headed government considered the Union Home Ministry’s Action Taken Report on the ‘Report of Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry’ on the alleged disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.”

“Having done so, it observed that the commission’s inquiry was inconclusive in many ways, unable to provide a definitive finding on several issues and at variance with past well accepted inquiry commissions’ findings in some critical areas,” it said.
