Chandra Kumar Bose, the grandnephew of freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and a former BJP leader, claimed that Netaji’s cap has disappeared from the Netaji Museum at the Red Fort in Delhi. Bose stated that he and his family had personally presented Netaji’s cap to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an event. Photos of the cap being handed over to the Prime Minister were also shared by Bose.
Expressing concern, Bose mentioned that a member of the Open Platform for Netaji (OPN) discovered the cap missing during a recent visit to the museum. He highlighted the significance of Netaji as a prominent leader and urged the Prime Minister to investigate the matter promptly. Bose emphasized the importance of locating the historic artifact to prevent any disrespect.
In a social media post, Bose reiterated his query about the cap’s whereabouts and called upon Prime Minister Modi to address the issue. He emphasized that the cap, which was placed in a glass box at the museum’s entrance, is now missing, raising questions about its disappearance. Bose stressed that losing such a significant historical item would be considered a serious matter of disrespect.
The Supreme Court declined to entertain a petition requesting the repatriation of Subhas Chandra Bose’s remains from Japan to India. Following the court’s decision, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing another grandnephew of Netaji, informed the court about the intention to withdraw the petition. Singhvi mentioned that Netaji’s daughter would file a fresh petition before the apex court, leading to the dismissal of the current matter by the Bench.
