The sevayats were identified as Surya Narayan Pujapanda and Brundaban Pujapanda. The District Collector Arvind Agrawal has lodged two FIRs with SP Sarthak Sarangi against 6 servitors. Some of the servitors had misbehaved with him and abused him, and even threatened to kill him when he protested the climbing of women on chariot.
The pahandi of Sudarsana was disrupted for an hour during the Niladri Bije of the deities. The media persons were also attacked by the servitors when they tried to find the reasons behind the delay in Pahandi.
