Indian official who drained 2MILLION litres of water from reservoir over three days in search for mobile phone he dropped while taking a selfie is suspended

A government official who ordered a reservoir to be drained just so he could retrieve his $1,200 (£970) smartphone after dropping it while taking a selfie has been suspected.
Food inspector Rajesh Vishwas dropped his Samsung smartphone in Kherkatta Dam in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh last week, The Times of India newspaper reported.
He first asked divers to search for the device, claiming it contained sensitive government data, but when their efforts failed, he asked for the reservoir to be emptied using diesel pumps.
Over three days, more than two million litres of water (440,000 gallons) were pumped from the reservoir - enough to irrigate at least 1,500 acres of land during India's scorching summer, local media reported.
Mr Vishwas told reporters the water was unusable for irrigation and he had received permission from a senior official to drain it.
