No one could have imagined that even seventy years after Bose's disappearance, the government had been holding hundreds of files related to him in utmost secrecy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe official view that Bose died in a plane crash in Taiwan never found public acceptance, leading to multiple inquiries.
