In the viral clip, a young man is seen breaking down in tears after losing his phone while navigating a flooded road on his two-wheeler. He reportedly lost balance, slipped, and dropped his phone into the murky water, where it vanished. Soaked and visibly distressed, he was seen desperately searching for it, but without success. Bystanders recorded the emotional moment as he sat crying by the roadside. The video has since sparked a wave of reactions online, with many expressing sympathy over his loss.

Locals report that flooding outside Ravindra Manch, just metres from where the incident occurred, is a recurring issue. Poor road levelling and a faulty drainage system often result in stagnant water that lingers for days after even a single spell of rain. Hidden potholes, some as deep as 2 to 4 feet, make the flooded roads even more hazardous. Several other riders reportedly experienced near-accidents at the same spot on the day of the incident.

Heavy rains have lashed several parts of Rajasthan over the past 24 hours, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday. Between Wednesday and 8:30 am Thursday, eastern Rajasthan witnessed heavy to very heavy rainfall at multiple locations. Nasirabad in Ajmer district recorded the highest rainfall at 163 mm, followed by Kotputli in Jaipur district with 150 mm, and Behror with 110 mm.
