4:34Now PlayingIn a startling occurrence, a government employee from Chattisgarh resorted to draining water from a reservoir in an attempt to retrieve his misplaced phone. The district administration has now recommended disciplinary action against a senior official who allegedly granted permission for the water pumping, disregarding the excessive wastage during the peak summer season. The incident unfolded in Kanker district, Chattisgarh, when a food inspector named Rajesh Biswas accidentally dropped his expensive mobile phone into the Paralkot reservoir while taking a selfie with his friends. Over a four-day period, from May 21 to May 25, he proceeded to pump out approximately 40 lakh litres (4014 cubic metres) of water from the dam in his search for the device. Ketki Angre dives into the details of this incident that sparked a significant controversy, resulting in the employee's suspension.
