Indian food inspector Rajesh Vishwas drained an entire reservoir to retrieve his Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phone, which he had dropped into the water. He used a diesel pump to drain three feet of water, wasting enough water to supply 1,500 acres of crops in an often drought-stricken country. Vishwas has been removed from his job and is facing criticism for his actions.
An Indian food inspector, Rajesh Vishwas, was suspended after he dropped his Samsung phone into the Kherkatta Dam and ordered it to be emptied to retrieve it. Workers pumped millions of liters of water out of the dam, which could have irrigated 1,500 acres of land during the scorching summer. Vishwas claimed the smartphone contained sensitive government information, but it was too waterlogged to work in the end. He denied "misusing" his position, saying the drained water was from an overflow section of the dam and was not "in usable condition."
