Mumbai, December 2: Vladimir Putin has been in the news for ages. In the latest news revolving around the Russian President, it has been claimed that the 70-year-old leader reportedly slipped and fallen down several stairs at his official residence Novo-Ogaryovo. The report also said that Putin defecated on himself after the fall.

According to the reports, a Telegram channel has claimed that the Russian President was supposedly helped to a sofa by bodyguards as his personal doctors rushed to assist him. However, the doctors were unable to check him for quite some time as Putin was first taken to a washroom to clean up after an "involuntary reaction". The channel further claimed that Putin bruised his coccyx in the process. However, Putin attended and spoke at a young scientists conference in Moscow on Thursday despite the "incident".Vladimir Putin Suffering From Parkinson's Disease and Pancreatic Cancer, Claim Reports.
