Man drains 440,000 gallons from a reservoir to retrieve mobile phone dropped while taking a selfie

[Simple Southerner]

It took three days to pump millions of litres of water out of the dam, after Rajesh Vishwas dropped the device while taking a selfie.
By the time it was found, the phone was too water-logged to work."

The food inspector dropped his Samsung phone, worth about $1,200 (100,000 rupees), into Kherkatta Dam, in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, on Sunday.

..he paid for a diesel pump to be brought in, Mr Vishwas said in a video statement quoted in Indian media.

The pump ran for several days, emptying out roughly two million litres (440,000 gallons) of water - reportedly enough to irrigate 6 sq km (600 hectares) of farmland."


He has been suspended from his job


What length would you go to get your phone back? Lol smh

This cat bangs dudes and had some incriminating photos and messages on his phone that's why he got it back. He wasn't paying for a pump to get a phone back that simply had a selfie on it.

There was definitely some highly incriminating shit on that phone

 

[Sweater of AV]

How is that even legal?

Maybe just, I don’t know, dive in, swim down and get it??? I’ve retrieved plenty of fishing rods using this (apparently) little known technique.

The local population doubled in population after this. India...

Did he not put the phone in a bowl of rice afterwards to dry it out?

Probably some PDF file content on there.

You guys saying there's something incriminating on that phone are vastly underestimating people's capacity for stupidity and selfishness. The whole venture probably cost him a 1000 rupees and being a higher cast I doubt het took into consideration locals concerns.

Don't think that's likely? Talk to an (dot) indian.

I read a news report that said he did have divers look for it, before going the pumping route.
