Earlier, in a tale of twists and turns, a man lost his phone in Goa and later found it back thanks to a plate of pao bhaji. Yes, you read that right. X user @KartikeyaRai11 shared in a post, "A drunk dude pickpocketed my phone in Goa (I was equally drunk). The drunk dude then got very hungry and went to eat bhaji pao in a small shop, but he had no money to pay for it, so he took out the red iPhone and tried to trade that for the bhaji pao."
