Smartphones are an integral aspect of modern day life, but the question stands. How far will you go to save your device if you’ve dropped it somewhere hard to reach. This Indian government official answers the question with a very questionable rescue operation for his Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Indian Govt official suspended for his attempts to save his Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
According to an Indian Express report, the government official had dropped his Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra while taking a selfie in a reservoir in the Chattisgarh State in India. The official decided to take extreme steps to retrieve the smartphone since it cost over 1,200 US Dollars. Initially, he decided to have some known villagers dive into the dam to find the handset, but when this failed, some extreme measures were taken.
The food inspector rented a pump and drained about three feet of water over the course of the next two days. This finally helped him retrieve his Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but the victory lap was only short lived as the move was received extremely negatively, to no one’s surprise. As per reports, the water that was drained amounted to 2,100,000 liters was meant to be used to irrigate the fields of at least 1,500 acres.
Following this incident, the government sub divisional officer (SDO) was promptly suspended. The official claimed that the water was unusable for irrigation and that he had received proper permission for this action. Despite such drastic actions, the retrieved Galaxy S23 Ultra did not survive incident.
