According to reports, two unidentified men on Monday mixed rat poison in the water tank of a madrassa run by former vice president Hamid Ansari's wife Salma Ansari, in Agra.

Salma Ansari told ANI that a child went to fill bottle at night and saw two boys mix something in the tank.

"The child then alerted the warden. Police was called. Several tablets of rat poison, yet to dissolve, were found in the water," she said.

"When he called them out, they pushed him and ran away, threatening him to keep his mouth shut or face consequences," she added.

Though the two men escaped, police have registered a case under IPC 328 (causing hurt by means of poison).

Outgoing vice-president Hamid Ansari, in his last interview before demitting office, had said that Muslims in the country were experiencing a "feeling of unease."

"A sense of insecurity is creeping in as a result of the dominant mood created by some and the resultant intolerance and vigilantism," Ansari said, in an interview to Rajya Sabha TV.
