INA veteran dead

Kannur: INA veteran Edadan Chindan Nair, who had claimed to have driven the car of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in Rangoon, died at his home at Payyannur near here on Saturday, family sources said.

Nair (95) had been keeping indifferent health for quite some time. He is survived by wife and a son.

He had left home at a young age for work in Malaysia and joined the INA inspired by Bose’s speeches.

In media interviews, Nair had claimed he had driven the car of Netaji in Rangoon (Yangon) before he set out for Tokyo in August 1945 and was presumed to have died in a plane crash.

Nair had said he was substituted by Netaji to drive him to the airport in Rangoon after his personal driver fell ill. . — PTI
