What's the story

The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report of Yunus, a witness in Unnao rape case who died recently, has ruled out poisoning as the cause of his death.

"The FSL report of Yunus has been received by SP Unnao. No poison has been detected in the viscera which was sent for chemical analysis," Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) Anand Kumar said.

Death

RaGa termed the death 'mysterious'

Yunus had died on August 18 and his body was exhumed on August 25 and sent for post-mortem as the victim's uncle had alleged foul play in his death.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi had also termed the death "mysterious" and his burial "hurried".

The man's family, however, had said he died due to a liver ailment for which he was being treated since 2013.
