Bhopal/UNI: Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra on Saturday directed a police commissioner-level inquiry into a book penned by a professor.

He asked for the registration of a first information report within 24 hours if the probe brought anything suspicious to light.

The work has been authored by the Indore-based Government New Law College’s Prof Farhat Khan.

“Action has been initiated against five individuals vis-à-vis anti-national activities at that academic institution,” Mishra told media representatives here.
