Senior Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) scientist Tapan Misra, who was in July 2018 unceremoniously removed from the directorship of Ahmedabad-based Space Applications Centre, has claimed in a post that he was “poisoned more than three years ago with deadly arsenic trioxide during a promotion interview”.
The senior adviser to Isro, who is set to retire on January 31, claimed that he survived several “assassination attempts” on his life like a massive explosion at his office lab and snake scare at his home even after the 2017 poisoning incident, and it was important to highlight the incident now in order to save other key scientists like him from such “nefarious happenings”.
