Politically Conspired Assassinations Series1 - Homi Jehangir Bhabha

Who is Homi Jehangir Bhabha

Dr Homi Bhabha was the father of Indian nuclear physics. He and Lal Bahadur Shastri were both in favour of India being a nuclear power, which threatened the US.

The Accident

On January 24, 1966, Air India flight AI 101 Mumbai-Paris crashed on Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps on the border of France and Italy.  If anything was recovered, it was an Indian diplomatic jute bag marked Ministry of External Affairs, Delhi; containing  newspapers, calendars and a personal letter. What is weird is that the bag was found in 2012. And anyway, it was a type 'c' bag and therefore, held no important documents.

The flight was piloted by one of the most experienced pilots of Air India, who had radioed the control tower that all instruments were working fine.  The plane was flying at 19,000 feet, at least 3,000 feet above the Mont Blanc summit and a few minutes later it crashed right into it.

Roche, 57, a property consultant in Lyon, France, has collected about three tonne of parts of the two Air India (AI) aircraft that crashed into the glacier of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps (4,810 m or 15,781 feet).  Roche, who stays 200 km away from the accident sites, has spent five days a week in his expedition to seek out the truth, and his story has already appeared in the French media.  

The Conspiracy

Was there a sabotage?

The CIA agent, Robert Crawley said that Homi Bhabha's death was part of a plot by CIA. The reason being: India's rise to nuclear power. Everyone knew that Dr Homi Bhabha was the father of Indian nuclear physics. He and Shastri were both in favour of India being a nuclear power, which threatened the US and thus, the CIA stepped in to sabotage the Air India flight 101, killing Bhabha and 116 others.  India was close to being a nuclear power and the loss of Homi Bhabha stalled the Indian Nuclear Programme.

Why Indian Governments are mum?

Roche has made a DVD about his investigations and even has 80 kg of documented research papers. “I do not know whether it was a conspiracy or what as Bhabha was going to give India its first nuclear bomb, which the nuclear powers of that time did not want,” he says. “In India, nobody speaks about the incident. I feel that it is my duty to tell the truth to the world based on the evidence. If the Indian government wants, I am ready to hand over the documents and the belongings of the passengers to them. They will have to pay for the shipment charges,” he says.
None of the Indian governments so far showed interest in getting the documents or the remnants of the plane.
