Guardian's May 2006 report on Netaji Commission

The Guardian report of May 18, 2006 has two notable points:

1. Justice Mukherjee told the Guardian, "As he would be 108 today, I have no doubt Bose is dead but he did not die in a plane crash."
(Justice Mukherjee's conclusion is purely based on average lifespan consideration and is not supported by any evidence.)
2. "He was a very clever man and a good bloke. I had a lot of time for him,"Hugh Toye, the former British intelligence officer whose job it was to track down Bose, told the Guardian. "If we had caught him he would have been sentenced to death though. I still think he died in the plane crash."
(Toye's remarks pointing towards British plan of trial as war criminal.)
