IPS officer Arun Bothra on 16 March shared a post that left the internet bewildered. In a never-seen-before Twitter post, he shared a picture of his travel bag which was filled with green peas.
While sharing the photograph, the Transport Commissioner of Odisha wrote in the caption that he was asked to open his travel bag by security officials at Jaipur airport.
Opening his luggage made visible a suitcase full of fresh green peas that had been purchased for Rs 40 per kg, said the IPS officer.
It’s unclear whether IPS Bothra was joking or not, but his post certainly made people laugh on social media.

The one-of-a-kind picture has gone viral, garnering thousands of likes and retweets. Bothra is very active on Twitter and has a following of over 2.3 lakh. When a Twitter user mentioned that he bought 10 kilos of green peas at the rate of Rs 40 per kg in Jaipur, the IPS officer said that he also bought peas in the same rate.
Same. 40/10

Interestingly, another IAS officer spoke about his experience of bringing vegetables on flights. IAS officer Awanish Sharan said that he paid Rs 2,000 at an Airport for bottle gourd and brinjal.
Last time when I was coming back from Home, I paid Rs. 2,000 to @IndiGo6E guys for ‘लौकी’ & ‘बैगन’ at Airport.
