Bose was believed to have died in a plane crash over Taiwan, while flying to Tokyo in August 1945. However, his body was never recovered, and theories concerning his possible survival abound. One such claim is that Bose actually died in Siberia, while in Soviet captivity. Several committees were set up by the government of India to probe into this matter.
In May 1956, a four-man Indian team (known as Shah Nawaz Committee) visited Japan to probe the circumstances of Bose's alleged death in the crash of a military aircraft at Taipei on August 18, 1945. An important point to note is that nobody in India had ever asked the government of Taiwan, the country where the air crash allegedly took place, for any assistance in the matter. India has never had any diplomatic relations with Taiwan, and the Indian Government has consistently used this as an excuse not to do so. However, as far back as 1956, the Government of Formosa, as Taiwan was then called, informed a British investigation, that no air crash had occurred in that country between August and October 1945. Details are available in the book "Netaji - Dead or Alive?" by Indian ex-MP, late Shri Samar Guha. The G D Khosla Commission (1970-1974) too could not reach to any conclusion as it failed to take inputs from Taiwan. Published in 1978, Guha's book is the first-ever and easily the most comprehensive compilation on the Netaji disappearance mystery, which effectively trashes the Taihoku air crash story. On the basis of this book, Mr. Morarji Desai, the then Prime Minister of India, rejected the G D Khosla Commission report in Parliament in 1978.
However, the Inquiry Commission under Justice Mukherjee, which investigated the Bose disappearance mystery in the period 1999-2005, did approach the Taiwanese government and obtained information from the Taiwan Government that no plane carrying Bose had ever crashed in Taipei [3]. The Mukherjee Commission also received a report originating from the US State Department, supporting the claim of the Taiwan Government that no such air crash took place during that time frame [4].
There are theories of political effort to classify information on the death mystery. In fact, according to some, Nehru did not wish to unveil the mystery behind Bose's disappearance and led to hushing of some important documents.[33] It has been reported that a conversation reportedly took place between Josef Stalin and Vyacheslav Molotov in 1946 about whether Bose should remain in the Soviet Union, although he is supposed to have died the year before. There are theories that Bose had kept contact with the Soviets after the defeat of the Axis powers became apparent, and travelled to Manchuria instead of Taiwan (Manchuria was occupied by the Soviets in the final days of the war).
The Mukherjee Commission submitted its report to the Indian Government on November 8, 2005. The report was tabled in Parliament on May 17, 2006. The probe said in it's report that Bose did not die in the plane crash and the ashes at Renkoji temple are not his. However, the Indian Government rejected the findings of the Commission.

It appears that death of great freedom fighter M. Subash Chandra Bose will always remain mystery. He was not an ordinary man. Death in airplane accident seems to be a cooked story. The only presumption which we can make is that he was killed by some one out of India. Attempt to conceal his death was successful.

Quote one page - probe report of H.Times
"Dear surfers,

This is a sequel to last year's public probe that HindustanTimes.com launched to unravel the mystery of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's disappearance in 1945.

Though the 2001 probe concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the leader had not died in the plane crash, no answer could be found to surfers' question on his fate beyond August 18, 1945. Some clues did point to Soviet Russia as a destination, but they could not be substantiated. Therefore, despite popular demand, the probe was called off.

Subsequent investigation by a tenacious reporter, Anuj Dhar, brought out some startling facts that force us to open Netaji's case once again.

We shudder to draw a conclusion based on these facts, which center on a hermit who died in Faizabad on September 16, 1985. We do not fear the inference that the hermit may be Netaji Subhas Bose, but we do gasp at the conclusions that will be drawn from the writings and letters that have survived this man. Taken even on their face value, they have the potential to change Indian history the way we know it.

We tremble even as we release the evidence… but we do so in the belief that Indians have the maturity and the strength of mind to handle the truth, however stark it may be…

Subhash Chandra Bose, (Bangla: Shubhash Chôndro Boshu) (January 23, 1897 – August 18, 1945?note), also known as Netaji, was one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian Independence Movement against the British Raj. He is immortalised in Indian History for having formed the Azad Hind Government in exile, and regrouping and leading the Indian National Army to battle against the allies in Imphal and Burma during the World War II. It is widely regarded that the actions of his nationalist army, and the revolts that it inspired in the British Indian Armed Forces after the war were one of the main driving forces behind the British decision to relinquish the Raj.[1][2]

Bose was elected president of the Indian National Congress for two consecutive terms. However, he had to resign from the post in the face of a motion of no-confidence, stemming from ideological conflicts with Mahatma Gandhi. Bose felt that Mahatma Gandhi's tactics of non-violence would never be sufficient to secure India's independence, and advocated violent resistance. He established a separate political party, the All India Forward Bloc and continued to call for the full and immediate independence of India from British rule. His stance did not change with the outbreak of War, which he saw as an opportunity to take advantage of British weakness.

He was imprisoned by the British authorities 11 times. At the outset of World War II, in a daring act of escape from the eyes of the British, he fled from India, and reached Germany by a lengthy and dangerous route. He sought an alliance with the Axis powers with the aim of attacking the British in India from the Northwest. When this plan was foiled by the Nazi invasion of the USSR, he headed for Japan and helped to organise— and later lead— the Indian National Army, put together from Indian prisoners-of-war and plantation workers from Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia, against British forces during the Second World War. His political views and the alliances he made with Nazi and other militarist regimes opposed to the British Empire have been the cause of arguments among historians and politicians, with some accusing him of Fascism. He is believed to have died on 18 August 1945 in a plane crash over Taiwan, however, contradicting evidence exists regarding his death in the accident.

It is quite likely that he made it to the Soviet Union before the end of the war and died there as a result of disfavor with an insane Stalin in the 1950s. So many secrets in the Soviet bloc.
