Mumbai builder Kamal Yadav's cellphone has saved his life, literally. On Tuesday night, the builder was shot at by a group of people. The cellphone in his trouser pocket stopped the bullet, and Mr Yadav sustained only a minor injury.
Mr Yadav, 45, the police said, had gone to a bar in Dombivli near Mumbai. On his way to the toilet, he ran into Jitendra Mhatre, another builder. Though Mr Yadav apologised, Mr Mhatre continued abusing him.
While one round was fired in the air, two others whizzed past Mr Yadav's cheeks, narrowly missing him. The fourth bullet, however, hit his mobile phone and grazed his thigh.
Mr Yadav was rushed to the hospital. Mr Mhatre has been booked for attempt to murder and the weapon has been seized.
