Press statement issued by Chandrachur Ghose and Anuj Dhar, authors of Conundrum: Subhas Bose’s Life After Death
Dated: 20th December, 2019
There are reports in media to the effect that Justice Vishnu Sahai commission, which was to ascertain the identity of Gumnami Baba, has failed to do so. Reports say that the commission has stated that he was actually a follower of Netaji.
The commission reached this conclusion on the basis of letter in Bengali written by Bulbul from Kolkata in October 1980, reading, ‘when will you come to my place. We will be very happy if you visit on the birthday of Netaji’. According to Justice Sahai this makes it clear that Gumnami Baba was not Netaji.
Chandrachur Ghose and Anuj Dhar are the writers of the 2019 book “Conundrum: Subhas Bose’s life after death”, which details, in 856 pages, their conclusion that Gumnami Baba was Netaji. They rely upon documentary, eyewitness and forensic evidence – most of which was ignored by Sahai Commission.
Earlier, both appeared before the commission and have for the last two years stated that the inquiry was farce. They wrote a letter to UP Chief Minister on this matter in 2017, stating their position:

Ghose and Dhar’s initial reaction to reports about Sahai Commission report is as follows:
The Commission’s report should be rejected as it fails to meet the main objective of setting up the inquiry. Instead of identifying Gumnami Baba, the report has taken sought an easy escape route through a frivolous assertion.
The suggestion that Gumnami Baba was a follower of Netaji flies in the face of facts. In 30 years that he was in India secretly, Gumnami Baba maintained contacts with several Netaji aides and others including then RSS chief. There is no evidence in the letters that have survived that they treated him like a follower of Netaji, in fact they were reverential about him and dropped clear hints that they thought he was Netaji.
Gumnami Baba forbade people to refer to his real identity and that’s why they avoided references, but reading their letters one can easily make out what they thought of his real identity.
It’s absurd that merely on the basis of a single letter by one Bulbul from Kolkata it is being construed that he was not Netaji, when we have clear signals coming from leading Netaji aides. A perusal of Gumnami Baba’s letters clearly demonstrate that he left no ambiguity that he was talking and writing as Netaji.
Leela Roy was a leading revolutionary of her time and a contemporary of Subhas Bose, whom she knew since 1920s. Her portrait is there in Parliament of India, which underlines her eminence. Leela Roy met Gumnami Baba and identified him as Netaji.
One of her letters recovered among Gumnami Baba’s belongings reads: “I am like a rock for the greatest patriot and one of the greatest men of age, not because I think it to be my duty but because I cannot do otherwise.” A person of Leela Roy’s stature would never write something like this for a mere follower of Netaji.
Dr Pabitra Mohan Roy of the Indian National Army (INA) intelligence service, who nearly sacrificed his life for Netaji and India and was an MLA in free India, functioned as eyes and ears of Gumnami Baba. In one of his letters he wrote:
“I wish to say something- your own words – ‘You are my intelligence officer-without fear or favour must act’. Now allow me to begin in a similar way. Keeping in mind Maa Kaali – Deshmata – Bangajanani – Bharatmata [Mother India] and your feet, I wanted to tell you that just like in the past, I still have the same unflinching faith and love-trust; unwavering obedience; total dedication and loyalty towards you.” [Translated from Bengali]”
The commission made no attempt to trace the family members of Leela Roy or Pabitra Mohan Roy and others and made deduction merely on the basis of their reading of one letter. The kin of Leela Roy and Pabitra Mohan Roy say he was Netaji. No efforts were made to summon key witnesses or scrutinise important police and intelligence files.
The very fact that Chandrachur Ghose and Anuj Dhar, individuals with limited means, were able to get Gumnami Baba’s handwriting tested by two leading experts in US and India, who opined that Gumnami Baba and Subhas Chandra Bose were the same person, even as the commission did not even consider this idea, demonstrates that the inquiry was a farce.
Caption: This is Gumnaami Baba’s handwriting in a letter written to Dr Pabitra Mohan Roy, who was an ex-secret service agent of Netaji’s INA. India’s famous handwriting expert B. Lall and Curt Baggett of US has confirmed that both the handwriting’s of Gumnaami Baba and that of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was of one and the same person.
Justice M K Mukherjee, who investigated the fate of Netaji, has known to have since then accepted off the record that Gumnami Baba was Netaji. Sahai worked under Mukherjee both in Allahabad High Court and Bombay High Court, where Mukherjee used to be Chief Justice. The very fact Sahai did not take Mukherjee’s views on record, even though he was requested to do so, shows that he inquiry was inquiry only in name.
