Vice President Believes Netaji Did Not Die in Plane Crash
The Vice President of India, C. P. Radhakrishnan, shared a personal belief that a famous Indian leader named Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose didn't die in a plane crash.
He said he doesn't have any proof, but he trusts what another freedom fighter, Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar, once said.
This other fighter claimed he met Netaji after the supposed accident and was told he didn't die.
The Vice President mentioned that he believes this because he respects Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar greatly.
He also noted that Thevar had once refused to become a chief minister, saying he only wanted justice for Netaji.
The Vice President made these remarks during a visit to a memorial event for Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar.
Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan believes Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose did not die in a plane crash.
He admits to having no evidence to support this belief.
The Vice President's belief stems from a statement made by freedom fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar.
Thevar claimed Netaji did not die in the crash and that he had met him afterwards.
Radhakrishnan cited Thevar's integrity and refusal of a chief minister position in exchange for justice for Netaji as reasons for his trust.
