West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has sparked off a new debate on whether freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose was alive or not after 1945.
After declassifying 64 files pertaining to the last days of Netaji from 1937 to 1947 in the state capital on Friday, the West Bengal Chief Minister said that she had gone through some files and had got the impression that Netaji may have been alive after 1945.
In some of the files that have been declassified, the then CID, Intelligence and Administrative officials had dismissed the Taiwan Air Crash theory.
The 12,744 pages of the 64 files have been digitised in the form of compact discs (CDs).
The Police Commissioner gave the first copies of digitised files to the family members of Netaji.
