India official drains entire dam to retrieve phone:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-65726193

A government official in India has been suspended after he ordered a reservoir to be drained to retrieve his phone.

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.

Hi dorian

It would be funny, if it was not a serious event

I assume that the BBC would have checked, that the story was true

It was alleged that the phone belonged to a very senior Government official and that the phone had highly sensitive information on it.

When I heard this I wondered if the sensitive information was Military Secrets or nudie photo's of the Minister's secretary in uncompromising positions.
