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.
Mr Vishwas claimed it contained sensitive government data and needed retrieving, but he has been accused of misusing his position.
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.

I take it scuba divers aren't a thing there?

Impressive. Did you read any of vidia's books ? I think I bought most of his books at one time but didn't read except a part of his trilogy.

Just the one. During my teenage years I went through books like beer :cool:

These days I'm lucky if I get through two week :(
