Many believe that Netaji lived in many places in Uttar Pradesh after changing his identity. Gumnami Baba -- whom many believe was actually Netaji (Bose) lived in the guise of a sadhu at several places in Uttar Pradesh, including Naimisharanya (Nimsar), Basti, Ayodhya, and Faizabad. He kept changing his place of abode, mostly within the city itself. "Gumnami" in Hindi literally means anonymity. He remained a complete recluse and interacted with only a handful of 'believers' who visited him on a regular basis. He never stepped out of his house, rather room, and the majority of the people claim to have never seen him. One of his landlords, Gurbax Singh Sodhi, tried to take him twice to the Faizabad Civil Court on the text of some work but failed. This information is corroborated by his son Manjit Singh in his deposition to Justice Sahai Commission of Inquiry, set up to identify Gumnami Baba. Later a journalist, Virendra Kumar Mishra, lodged a complaint with the police.

Gumnami Baba finally settled in an outhouse of Ram Bhavan at Faizabad in 1983 where he reportedly died on September 16, 1985. If it were really Netaji, he would be 88 years old. Strangely, there is no proof that any person really died. There is no death certificate, no photograph of the dead body, or of the people present during cremation. There is no cremation certificate either. In fact, Gumnami Baba's passing away was not known to people until, 42 days after his supposed death.

Though the Uttar Pradesh government officially rejected the claim that Gumnami Baba was actually Bose in disguise, his followers still refuse to accept the claim. The Gumnami Baba 'believers' had moved the court in 2010 and brought out a judgment in favor of their petition with the high court directing the Uttar Pradesh government to establish the identity of Gumnami Baba.

Accordingly, the government set up an inquiry commission on June 28, 2016, headed by Justice Vishnu Sahai. The report stated that "Gumnami Baba" was a "follower of Netaji", but not Netaji. The report of the one-member commission was tabled in the Uttar Pradesh assembly in December 2020 and it said Gumnami Baba was not Subhas Chandra Bose in disguise.

A leading surgeon from Gorakhpur, who does not wish to be named, was one such 'believer'. "We kept asking the Government of India to declare that Netaji was not a war criminal but our pleas fell on deaf ears. Baba did not want to emerge as a criminal. It does matter that the government did not believe in him -- we did and continue to do so. We want to be known as his 'believers' because we believed in him," he told the news agency IANS. The doctor was among those who regularly visited Gumnami Baba and still remains his staunch 'believer'.
