PM Modi tweeted a letter of the Intelligence Bureau that was dated 4th October 1945. The document of the Intelligence Bureau stated how its deputy director G Ahmed vouched to bring back Biju Patnaik into Indian National Airways. The letter proved Biju Babu’s courage as he flew Ram Manohar Lohia (who was then underground) from Delhi to Calcutta.
