Chief Minister of Indian Punjab Bhagwant Mann was admitted to hospital after he drank "polluted water from a river to prove that water is clean".

In a video, Mann can be seen scooping up a glass of water from a river and gulping it down amid cheers from supporters. The CM drank the water, which is usually polluted with sewage waste from neighbouring towns and villages, without hesitation, NDTV reported.

The video is from last Sunday. Days later, he was admitted to a hospital in New Delhi.

However, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), of which Mann is a member, denied the chief minister had any infection. They said that he went to the hospital for a 'routine checkup' and was discharged last evening.
