[Photos] Phone burns man's face after exploding

A man was seriously injured after his mobile phone blew up in his face when he tried making a quick phone call.

Bhavesh Thummer, a professional diamond polisher, was left with burns to his face and chest following the shocking incident in India.
Requiring urgent medical treatment, the 30-year-old was rushed to a private hospital in the city of Surat, Gujurat State.  
Mr Thummer's left eye and ear were burnt in the incident, leaving him wearing a heavy bandage across the whole of his left eye.

 
The device exploded whilst Mr Thummer was visiting his friend's timber market in Punagam, Surat.
Wanting to make a quick telephone call, he dialled the number and put the phone to his ear.
Feeling the extreme temperature, he dropped the overheating device. The phone landed on to a desk before setting fire to a pile of loose papers and damaging the desk.
The near miss for Mr Thummer has led health and safety experts to launch an inquiry into the incident.
Using a police statement acquired from the injured man whilst he was in hospital, experts are hoping to uncover the true cause of the nasty accident.
The phone has been taken away by investigators, where it is expected to be tested.
