At least ten people have died in central India after drinking contaminated water from a public supply line, officials report.
A leak was discovered in a main pipeline at the exact location where a toilet had been built. This allowed sewage to mix with the drinking water.
The incident occurred in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Local authorities say they are investigating the situation.
Officials have cut the contaminated water supply. They are now working to repair the pipeline and prevent further illness.
