He dropped his phone into the water while taking a selfie and ordered the swamp to be emptied. This has happened in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh and the architect of this uncivil act has been the government official and food inspector, Rajesh Vishwas, who has been suspended from his position and an investigation has been opened to determine the scope of his actions. .
In the first instance, the man tried to recover the phone with the help of some divers who mobilized to the Kherakatta dam, but they could not find it. Faced with the failure, the official resorted to his power and governmental influence to order the emptying of the swamp.
He managed to empty the water with the help of a diesel pump that he used for three days and with which he managed to extract two million liters that, according to reports, could have irrigated more than 600 hectares of land.
Finally, after all the mobilization and resources put into the recovery of the phone, Vishwas recovered his Samsung mobile valued at about 1,000 euros. This, unfortunately, had stopped working.
As explained by the protagonist of the story, he wanted to recover it not because of its high price, nor on a whim, but because it contained very important government data, for which he was allowed to drain “some water to a nearby channel” something that also “It would benefit farmers, since they would have more water.”
