Satyanarayan Sinha is an individual of a wholly different calibre from Uttam Chand Malhotra. Sinha has had chequered career. He has visited many foreign countries, and worked in many different capaicites. By nature a boastful exhibitionist, he has adopted a flamboyant style in his speech and in his writing. It took four days to hear his long, rambling and often irrelevant statement, and the record of his deposition extends over 235 typed pages.

A blatant instance of evasion is set out below :

Commission : With regard to the crash that took place in October 1944, what document did you see ? So far you have told me that the PRO told you about it. And you also made a reference to a newspaper which you were not able to see. I want to know what was the document that you saw ?

Dr.Sinha : He took me to a temple there, a Buddhist temple nearby where there were two Chinese, and he said that these were our agents posted here in Taihoku during the British days. I must tell you one thing. This Peter Tsiand had lived in Delhi during Chiang Kai Shek's regime, as China's representative. So, this man who was investigating for me about Netaji's case, for him, Delhi affairs were not foreign or strange. So, he took me to that temple and brought two eye-witnesses of that crash which had taken place in 1944.

Commission : These two Chinese witnesses told you about that crash.
Dr. Sinha : About that one crash which had taken place in October, but no one knew about any crash which had taken place in August, 1945 at the Taipei airport.

Commission : I repeat my question : was there any document that you were able to see?
Dr. Sinha : About this particular aircraft, later on, I cousulted the facts on file and also about the Japanese suicide squadron which was based on Taipei, the date on which they flew, and all that. From this, I have volumes of material to show that not one crash but at least hundreds if not thousands of crashes must have taken place on the Formosa island, and a few hundreds at least before the 18th, on that Keelung-Taihoku sector.

Commission : Were you able to get any documents from the old hospital or military hospital ? Before that , I want to ask, was the old military hospital in existence ?

Dr. Sinha : I did not go to any hospital or anywhere. As an aviator, I first investigated whether a crash took place or not. If the crash had not taken place, the question does not arise of going to hospital or anywhere."

It is clear from the above extracts, culled from his statement, that Dr. Satyanarayan Sinha has attempted to practise fraud upon the Commission and the public, by making false claims of an investigation into Bose's disappearance.

His single visit to Taipei to attend the 10th Conference of the Asian People's Anti Communist League, was exploited by him to arrogate to himself the character of a public-spirited man, deeply concerned with Bose and his activities.

But whenever he was asked to state details about his work or his tours, he resorted to evasive tactics, by jumping to another topic and side-tracking the subject under scrutiny.
