4. Subhash Chandra Bose
Death: not declared
The last days of one of India's greatest sons Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose are still shrouded in mystery despite several commissions of inquiry. It was reported by the British governement that Bose died in a plane crash in Taipei in 1945. He was charred to death. Another report said that he died in Siberia while he was taken captive by the Soviet army.
There are numerous tales spinning around Bose's last days. One speculation is that Stalin and Molotov conversed over the decision to keep Bose in Soviet Union or not.
Another series of rumors say that Bose was not in the plane that crashed in Taipei.
In 1956, the government set up the Shah Nawaz committee which visited Japan to investigate. But help from Taiwanese was never sought. The ashes of Netaji are kept in the Renkoji monastery in Japan, but the Indian government is yet to bring them back fearing unrest in the country. The reports by Justice Mukherjee Commission were also termed irrelevant.
