'Vegetable Smuggler': Airport Security Officer Stops Man On Suspicion, Finds 10 Kg 'Matar' Inside His Suitcase
Bothra took to Twitter to share a picture of his bag containing peas. He apparently bought the peas from Jaipur due to their cheap price.
Have you ever gotten in trouble for something suspicious in your bag at airport security checks? Well, no matter what it was, it cannot be as weird as this - IPS officer Arun Bothra was travelling from Jaipur when he was asked to open his bag by the airport security staff.
Now, what was in Mr Bothra's bag that made the airport security open it? Turns out, he was travelling with 10 kilograms of peas. Yes, matar.
Bothra took to Twitter to share a picture of his bag containing peas. He apparently bought the peas from Jaipur due to their cheap price.
"Security staff at Jaipur airport asked to open my handbag," he wrote.

Mr Bothra also mentioned that he bought the peas for Rs 40 per kilogram. Also, did you know that the officer is not the only person who has packed vegetables in his luggage?
IAS officer Awanish Sharan once paid Rs 2,000 for lauki and baingan while travelling.
Last time when I was coming back from Home, I paid Rs. 2,000 to @IndiGo6E guys for ¡®????¡¯ & ¡®????¡¯ at Airport.

One person admitted, "This was how we flew back from Kashmir with apples in our baggage."
A user joked, "That's why I prefer train journeys when returning from hometown." Actor R Madhavan also joined the fun!
Someone asked, "Haven't they asked 1 kilo as bribe to allow?"
Yet another joked, "Keh dijiye matar ke andar drugs hain, isi bahane matar bhi chhil jayengi."
Here are some more reactions:
@arunbothra sir, this is a MUTTAR of security. You can carry peas in a BAIGAN , not aeroplanes.
