In 2005, she co-convened a People’s Tribunal to record testimonials on the experiences and concerns of different strata of people on the rise of the Hindu nationalist Sangh Parivar in Orissa. In this, Chatterji worked with Indian People’s Tribunal on Environment and Human Rights, with Mihir Desai, Retired Chief Justice K.K. Usha of Kerala, Sudhir Pattnaik, Ram Puniyani, Colin Gonsalves and others. As the People’s Tribunal on Communalism in Orissa was ongoing in June 2005, Sangh members disrupted the Tribunal’s proceedings, threatening to rape and parade the women members of the Tribunal. The Tribunal released a detailed report in October 2006, warning of future violence.

After the outbreak of violence between the Hindu and Christian groups in December 2007, Chatterji testified to the Panigrahi Commission against the Sangh Parivar groups, and warned of further violence. She wrote articles criticizing the Hindutva groups, when fresh religious violence broke out in Orissa after the murder of Swami Lakshmanananda in August 2008.

Chatterji was lead author of a 2009 report titled Buried Evidence: Unknown, Unmarked, and Mass Graves in Indian-administered Kashmir, detailing 2,700 unknown, unmarked, and mass graves across three districts and 55 villages. The findings of the report would be verified by the united nation Human Rights Commission in 2011.
