The Jawaharlal Nehru government had placed the family and relatives of Subhash Chandra Bose on surveillance for two decades, a de-classified intelligence reports claimed. Reacting to reports, the family of Subhash Chandra Bose sought full declassification of files that revealed that the Nerhu government had placed Bose family under surveillance. However, taking the line adopted by the previous Congress-led UPA government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Office has already refused to disclose records related to Subhas Chandra Bose's death as it rejected the argument that there was a larger public interest involved in making them public.
