Amid controversy over Intelligence Bureau keeping relatives of SubhasChandra Bose under close watch, kin of Bhagat Singh claimed that the martyr's family had also been kept under surveillance for several years and demanded that the government declassify all files pertaining to him. "Our family had been under surveillance for years. Our phone conversations, too, had been under the scanner for years," Bhagat Singh's 57-year-old nephew, Abhay Singh Sandhu said. He said the family had been on the radar since the British rule and claimed that "even after the country gained freedom, we were under watch of the intelligence agencies."
