b. Khosla Commission
c. Mukherjee Commission
d. Durga das Commission
e. None
ANSWER: Durga das Commission
- Nehru’s government instituted a formal inquiry committee in 1956 consisting of three members that were Shah Nawaz Khan of Red Fort trial fame, Suresh Chandra Bose, the eldest surviving brother of Netaji, and S. N. Maitra, an experienced civil servant deputed by the government of West Bengal. All three agreed that Bose died in plane crash but after signing the report Suresh Chandra Bose refused to accept it.
- In 1970, Indira Gandhi decided to appoint an eminent jurist, G. D. Khosla, as a one-man commission of inquiry to investigate the matter all over again.
- The Mukherjee Commission made no distinction between the highly probable and the utterly impossible. In May 2006, after six long years, it submitted a report stating that the air crash on August 18, 1945, had not occurred at all.
