Police said preliminary evidence suggested that poisonous materials had been sprayed in classrooms at Bibi Haji school, in Takhar province. They believe that Taliban insurgents may be responsible.

Takhar has insisted no business discussions took place during the visit. He says he went there to talk to his wife, who is the company's current chief executive officer, about family matters.

In April, more than 100 schoolgirls from Takhar were taken to hospital after drinking water at their school that was suspected to be poisoned.

Takhar, who was elected to the provincial legislature in 2003, resigned as minister of government services on Thursday and said on Facebook that he's entering the contest.
