In view of very less number of affidavits received, the Commission had also earlier extended the deadline for submission of affidavits from November 4 by a month till 4^th of this month.

Justice Das had claimed on Saturday that the Commission has received 350 affidavits.

It may be recalled here that the state government had announced formation of the one-man judicial commission in September after the issue of manhandling of Puri Collector Arvind Agarwal by servitors during the Niladri Bije rituals this year reached a tipping point.
