New Delhi: Six years after its constitution, the one-man commission probing the mysterious disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose yesterday (Nov 8, 2005) submitted its report to the Government.

The report has finally submitted to the Home Minsitry by the Secretary of the Commission after the one-man probe panel could not find anything substantial during its visit to Russia in September this year, official sources said.

The Inquiry Commission, which was pinning lot of hope on a possible breakthrough in Russia, could not find any relevant material there even from the KGB archives, they said.

Justice Mukherjee had made a visit to Russia after some oral submissions that Netaji was present in the USSR after August 18, 1945.

The Commission toured Russia from September 20 to 30 and visited archives in Moscow, Omsk, Irkhutsk and St Petersburg.

Authorities of the Central Archive of the KGB, Central State Archive of Russian Federation Defence, Russian State Library, State Archive of Russian Federation, Russian State Military Archive and the Russian State Historical Archives for the Far East had also informed the Commission that they had no documents relevant to its terms of enquiry.

Headed by a retired Supreme Court Judge Manoj K Mukherjee, the commission was set up by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government in May 1999 and had so far got three extensions.
