Sugata Bose, grand-nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, has said the Victoria Memorial Hall has overnight changed the captions and credit of the displays at Nirbhik Subhas, an exhibition on Netaji, that he had said were “fake” in a letter on Saturday.
The display showing the resignation letter by Subhas Chandra Bose from the Indian Civil Service was called “fake” by Sugata Bose as “the handwriting was not that of Netaji and had several anomalies including spelling mistakes and wrong salutations”.

On Sunday, the display had no spelling mistakes, the salutation was changed and the credit to the display reads: “This is the original letter published in the book A Pictorial Biography NRB (Netaji Research Bureau). Above is the artistic recreation of the original document for bettervisibility.”

Netaji Research Bureau chairperson Sugata Bose has shot off a letter to the Victoria Memorial authorities, claiming that one of the relics at an ongoing exhibition at the museum, commemorating the 125th birth anniversary of the legendary freedom fighter, is fake. In the letter to Victoria Memorial Curator Jayanta Sengupta, the leader s grandnephew said the museum authorities had never asked for a copy of Netaji s resignation letter from the Indian Civil Service and what has been put on display there is a fake exhibit. The Harvard University professor and son of Dr Sisir Bose said the authentic photocopy of Netaji s resignation letter from the ICS has been with the bureau for about 50 years.
