Bosefiles.info, a UK website set up to document evidence on the circumstances surrounding Netaji’s death, yesterday said this is the first time the report has been made public. “The report was completed in January 1956 and submitted to the Indian embassy in Tokyo, but since it was a classified document, neither side released it,” the site says.


The seven-page report reaches the conclusion that Netaji met with an air crash on 18 August, 1945 and died at a Taipei hospital the same evening at 7 pm. The findings also state that on “August 22, he was cremated (at the Taipei Municipal crematorium)”.
