Kerala BJP president and former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar sustained minor injuries on Sunday after slipping and falling from a treadmill during a workout session.

Chandrasekhar took to Facebook to share images of the bruises on his face, narrating the incident with a hint of humour. “If you are on a treadmill and try to reach out to a ringing phone — and are careless — there are chances you can slip and fall and scrape your face or injure yourself,” he wrote.

“I have the embarrassing pain and scars to prove it. Moral of the story: use phone on a treadmill with extreme caution,” he added in a light-hearted note.

The former union minister did not mention where the incident occurred.

Several pictures of Chandrasekhar's workout sessions have previously appeared on social media platforms.
