Wadhwa panel begins hearingThe one-man commission, headed by Supreme Court sitting judge D P Wadhwa inquiring into the killing of Australian missionary Graham Stewart Staines and his two minor sons at Manoharpur in Keonjhar in Orissa, began its hearing in Bhubaneswar yesterday. On the first day four persons -- Dr Subhankar Ghose, Shantanu Satpathy, both friends of late Graham Staines, Manoharpur sarpanch Pradip Das and Thakur Das Murmu -- deposed before the commission. The commission had served notices on seven people to depose before it during its three-day session. The commission was instituted on January 29 after a high-level central ministerial team, consisting of Defence Minister George Fernandes, Human Resource Development Minister Murli Manohar Joshi and Steel and Mines Minister Naveen Patnaik submitted a report to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee after visiting Manoharpur on January 27.
