Telangana: A man in Kamareddy district narrowly escaped injury after his mobile phone exploded in his pants pocket. According to regional media reports, Enige Sayilu, a private medical practitioner and resident of Pitlam SC Colony, was at his clinic when he noticed smoke coming from his pants. Before he could react, the phone exploded and burned a hole in his pants.
Miraculously, Sayilu was unharmed, but the device was completely destroyed. Experts suggest that excessive heat, especially when using a non-company-approved charger, can cause mobile phones to overheat and explode.
