Gurgaon, June 27 (IANS): Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav was on Saturday discharged from a private hospital here after being treated for viral fever and abdomen infection, a doctor said.

The 75-year-old former Uttar Pradesh chief minister came to Medicity Medanta Hospital on Friday after feeling unwell.

"Yadav was diagnosed for viral fever and an infection in his abdomen. Senior cardiologist Dr. Naresh Trehan and Dr. Sushila Kataria were monitoring his diagnosis process," a doctor at Medanta, who did not wish to be named told IANS.

He said that Yadav, a former defence minister, was feeling better after treatment.
