A hair-raising video shows the moment an Indian politician falls into an eight feet deep sewer while giving a TV interview.

The unfortunately named Member of Parliament, Poonan Madam, 40, was interacting with some locals in Vododara city of Gujarat when the road caved in.

Madam and four other people standing next to her plunged into the sewer running underneath.

She suffered a 4-inch deep gash on her head plus injuries to her shoulder and legs.
