Aravind Srinivas , CEO of Perplexity AI , has posted a screenshot on Elon Musk-owned social media platform X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a conversation with the AI chatbot about the “conspiracy theory” around the alleged mystery of freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose's death.
The exchange began with the Perplexity AI chatbot posing an open-ended question: “What's your favorite conspiracy theory? Reply with it below and I'll verify if it's true or false”
This led to a reply by the top executive, focusing on a specific historical ‘mystery’: “Who was behind the death of Subhas Chandra Bose?”
“Wdyt [What do you think] happened?” Srinivas said in the post on X.
Perplexity AI summarises official data and theories on Bose's death
Notably, the official data says that Bose died in a 1945 plane crash, but several theories suggest alternatives like a faked death, assassination or captivity. Perplexity AI’s response summarised the officially recognised account while delving into the various conspiracy theories that have circulated for decades.
The official account states Subhas Chandra Bose died in a 1945 plane crash in Taiwan, but conspiracy theories suggest otherwise.
Some allege he faked his death to evade capture, others claim assassination by political rivals, or even Soviet captivity, though no concrete evidence supports these.
The chatbot also referenced the Indian government's 1956 inquiry, which corroborated the plane crash as the cause of Bose's death. It further noted that Bose's brother rejected this conclusion.
The Indian government's 1956 inquiry confirmed the crash, but Bose's brother rejected it, accusing Nehru of a cover-up.
Recent researchers propose a Japanese-Russian plot to hide his survival, but these remain speculative without definitive proof.
Users share mixed reactions to Perplexity AI CEO’s post
Users of the platform exhibited a range of responses, with some exploring more 'conspiracy theories' and others suggested people to distance themselves from such speculations.
Some questions are better left unanswered

I don’t want to get into this rabbit hole as no one has won this.. game.. it crates more divide and more conspiracies… I would just stick to tech ..
There are so many conspiracy theories about his death—no one knows the truth.
But one thing is certain: he’s still alive in our thoughts.
