1. On 3rd of September, 1945 USA took control of Taiwan from Japan, and CIA report revealed that there was no plane crash in Taiwan in past six months, both USA and British intelligence didn't believe that Netaji died in a plane crash.
2. Anuj Dhar, a journalist and writer who is researching on Netaji's disappearance for over a decade contacted Taiwanese authorities and got a reply that there was no plane crash, neither any record of any third degree burn victim in any hospital in Taiwan one week prior or after 18th August, 1945.

"On a conspectus of all the facts and circumstances relevant to the above issues it stands established that emplaning at Saigon on August 17, 1945 Netaji succeeded in evading the Allied Forces and escaping out of their reach and as a camouflage thereof the entire make-believe story of the air crash, Netaji’s death therein and his cremation was engineered by the Japanese army authorities including the two doctors and Habibur Rahman and then aired on August 23, 1945."
