Five months after its formation, the three-member Commission of Inquiry (CoI) notified by the Centre to probe the Manipur ethnic violence has asked the members of the public to submit “statement, allegation or complaint” in the form of an affidavit in the next 45 days.
Though it was announced in September that the CoI will hold public hearings to comprehensively investigate the ethnic violence, it is yet to hold any public hearing, either in Delhi or Manipur.
On November 20, the CoI issued a notification that five copies of affidavits, attested by “court, judge, magistrate” or oath commissioners be submitted at its Delhi office in person or through speed post.
