The three-volume Shah Commission report on the Emergency became unavailable after Indira Gandhi returned to power in 1980, according to The Hindu. The report’s disappearance meant that, for a period, no one could get hold of the Commission’s findings, the supplied material says. The Hindu describes the episode as the curious case of a “missing” report and says the document was eventually rediscovered.
However, the available information does not state where the volumes were found, who rediscovered them, or when that happened. It also does not provide details of the report’s conclusions beyond the separate material supplied about its findings on detentions in Tamil Nadu.
