Confirming the move, SSP Aligarh, Rajesh Pandey said that water samples have been sent and report is expected to come next week. Police is investigating the matter, he said.

On Friday evening, two unidentified men had allegedly mixed rat poison in the water supply of Madrassa that houses 4000 children. The institution is run by

Al Noor Charitable Society

which is headed by former vice president

Hamid Ansari

’s wife,

Salma Ansari

.

A student had spotted the miscreants and alerted the warden on time. Police, however, claimed that student’s statement had not been consistent, and therefore, could not be relied upon.

According to madrassa warden Junaid Siddiqui, Salma Ansari will be visiting the Madrasa on Tuesday to inquire about the incident.

As a precautionary measure, the boundary wall of the madrasa is being scaled and the process of installing

CCTV

cameras has started, he said.
