In the meantime, the Burmese army has declared war against Japan, and as such, the villagers did not co-operate with INA. Their retreat was fully under the control of General [[Aung San]]’s Army under the new name of People's National Army, after having established a parallel government extending their hold over about 50 villages. They crossed Irrawaddy at Kama to reach Prome on 1 May 1945. Most of INA officers and men could not cross the river and they were stranded on the east bank of Irrawaddy. It was apparent by then, that they had lost the war. Rangoon had already been vacated. From Prome they took southeasterly direction to retreat through the jungles of the Pegu Yomas. Eleven days after leaving [[Prome]], they reached at village called Wata about {{convert|20|mi|km|-1|abbr=on|order=flip}} west of Pegu. There they learnt that Germany had surrendered. Japan was being heavily bombed daily. The British forces had occupied [[Pegu]]. Rangoon fell during the last week of April. Herein they decided that the surviving forces of INA should surrender to the British. Officially, Bose died in a plane crash over [[Taiwan]], while flying to Tokyo on 18 August 1945. It is believed that he was en route to the Soviet Union in a Japanese plane when it crashed in Taiwan, burning him fatally. However, his body was never recovered, and many theories have been put forward concerning his possible survival. One such claim is that Bose actually died in [[Siberia]], while in [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] captivity. | In the meantime, the Burmese army has declared war against Japan, and as such, the villagers did not co-operate with INA.

Khan was the only Indian accompanying [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and thus the only Indian witness at the time of his [[Death of Subhas Chandra Bose]] in a plane crash in [[Taihoku]] on 18 August 1945. Khan was taken prisoner by Allied forces and at the end repatriated to India. Several committees have been set up by the Government of India to probe into this matter. | Khan was the only Indian accompanying [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and thus the only Indian witness at the time of his [[Death of Subhas Chandra Bose | death]] in a plane crash in [[Taihoku]] on 18 August 1945.
