Chandra Kumar Bose, the grandnephew of freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, has raised concerns about the authenticity of the iconic leader’s cap displayed at the Netaji Museum in Delhi’s Red Fort. Bose stated that the cap handed over to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Netaji’s family in 2019 appears different from the one currently on display. He emphasized the need for an investigation into this discrepancy.
According to Bose, the cap, which was personally placed by the Prime Minister in a glass box at the museum’s inauguration, was later sent to various museums for exhibitions. However, recent reports suggest that the cap is no longer at the Red Fort museum where it was originally showcased. Bose highlighted that the family has reached out to the Prime Minister and an MP regarding this issue, seeking a thorough examination of the cap’s authenticity.
Expressing doubts about the cap currently on display, Bose stressed the importance of verifying its authenticity against the original one presented to the Prime Minister. He called for a proper probe into the matter and urged Prime Minister Modi to ensure a thorough investigation to address the discrepancies surrounding Netaji’s cap at the museum.
