Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's great-granddaughter Rajshree Chaudhary Bose has been put under house arrest at reserve police lines in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, PTI reported. Bose was going to Varanasi to attend an event organised by the Vishwa Hindu Sena as the chief guest when she was asked to deboard the train and was put under house arrest.

Vishwa Hindu Sena president Arun Pathak said they were just going to Varanasi for the 'jalabhishek' at the Kashi Vishwanath temple and pay obeisance to the goddess there. 

Rajshree Chaudhary Bose, who is also the national president of the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha, is known to make controversial statements.

Rajshree Chaudhary Bose made headlines in 2019 for performing aarti in front of a portrait of Nathuram Godse, who was hanged for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior. Chaudhary also blamed Jawaharlal Nehru's government for Gandhi's death.

"A day will come, when people across the country will realise that successive Congress governments in Independent India had done injustice to Nathuram Godse (our central leader) by scripting false history about him," Bose had said.

In 2018, Bose had reportedly said that she would not rest till India became a "Hindu Rashtra". She had also said that India was yet to become a completely independent nation, and the country was still politically "a slave at an international level".

In a press interaction in November 2018, Bose had announced that the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha would contest the 2019 Lok Sabha election. She had said that the Ayodhya Ram mandir issue would be the poll plank of the Mahasabha, along with the demand to establish Hindutva more firmly.

She had further said the ABHM was fighting for the cause of Ram Mandir since 1949 legally, adding that Lord Ram was the identity of our nation, an icon of good governance.
