World News: India official drains entire dam to retrieve phone

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.

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

Vishwas has denied misusing his position, and said that the water he drained was from the overflow section of the dam and "not in usable condition.
