Sanjay Raut Plans Toxicology Test After Rahul Gandhi Advice
Sanjay Raut is a politician who was once kept in jail.
He said Rahul Gandhi asked whether he might have been poisoned there.
Rahul suggested that Raut take a special medical test to look for poisonous substances.
Raut said he was diagnosed with stomach cancer after leaving jail.
He now wants to investigate whether his health problems began in prison.
These poisoning concerns were presented by Raut and were not confirmed in the report.
Raut also said political opponents should be treated through discussion rather than investigations and police action.
