Usually when people make headlines for selfies, the stories are of a more tragic nature. A government official in India, however, earned his 15 minutes of fame, and a suspension, after his picture-taking antics led to an entire reservoir being drained in search of his dropped phone. Rajesh Vishwas, a food inspector in Pakhanjur, in India’s central state of Chhattisgarh, was on vacation at the Kherkatta Dam with friends on Sunday when he decided to take a selfie with his smartphone, report ABC Australia and the BBC. The $1,200 Samsung device slipped out of his hands, however, and plunged into the water, at which point most people would be hurling expletives and heading online to see about buying a new phone.
