Former Prime Minister Morarji Desai had declined to accept the findings of two Commission of Inquiries that concluded Subhas Chandra Bose died in a plane crash in August 1945, according to the 25 declassified files on Netaji released today.

He also re-opened the issue of a fresh enquiry about the mysterious disappearance of Netaji and felt it would be more effective to have an investigative inquiry by experts to find out the reality.

Former MP Samar Guha, in a letter dated February 26, 1991, to then MP Madhu Dandavate, said, "...Morarji Desai, in a public statement in Lok Sabha in September 1978, declined to accept the findings of the Shah Nawaz Committee and Khosla Commission of Enquiry into 'disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose' since August 18, 1945 as 'conclusive'.

"Shri Morarji Desai as the Prime Minister of India, thus, re-opened the issue of a fresh inquiry about Netaji mystery," the letter read.
