In a letter addressed (dated 14 February 1996) to then NDA MP Nitish Kumar, Prof Samar Guha, a close associate of Netaji, said that it was regretful that the details of Netaji's life was hushed up.
The document wrote to Nitish Kumar about the Asiatic Society of Calcutta - founded by Sir William Jones on 15 January 1784 to enhance and further the cause of Oriental research - which had reportedly found vital clues about the disappearance of Netaji.
A Russian journal, 'Asia and Africa' published investigative stories claiming that Netaji was actually a British agent.
The journal claimed to be in possession of secret KGB reports that substantiated this claim and went on to say that one of Netaji's close aides was working with intelligence services of several countries at once.
