In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said India sought information on Netaji such as whether he was in Russia any time before or after August 1945 and whether he escaped to Russia in August 1945 or thereafter as reported by some researchers.
The Indian government, in several requests since 2014, sought documents or material relating to Netaji, which may be in the custody of the Russian side, he said.
"In its response, the Russian government has conveyed that they were unable to find any documents in the Russian archives pertaining to Netaji and even after additional investigations made based on request from the Indian side, they could not find any documents giving more information on the subject," Mr Muraleedharan said.
Netaji Bose founded Indian National Army, also known as the Azad Hind Fauj, in 1942 to fight British with the support of Japanese forces.
