Kolkata: Adding a new twist to the mysteries surrounding the life and disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, an Irish scholar on Sunday claimed that British Foreign Office had ordered the assassination of the great leader in March, 1941 during his great escape from India.
According to Prof Eunan OHalpin of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, the British Foreign Office ordered assassination of Netaji in March, 1941, and reconfirmed the order in June that year.
Learning from a decode of an Italian telegram on February 27, 1941, that Subhas Bose might be in Kabul, the British Foreign Office asked the British minister there if he had any local clue in confirmation, OHalpin, a professor of history, said while delivering the Sisir Kumar Bose lecture at the Netaji Research Bureau in Kolkata.
He said on March 7, the British Special Operations Executive, formed in 1940 for sabotage, underground propaganda and other clandestine activities, informed its representatives in Istanbul and Cairo that Bose was understood to be travelling from Afghanistan to Germany via Iran, Iraq and Turkey.
OHalpin handed over documentary evidences in support of his claims to NRB chairperson Krishna Bose.
