Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Arun Bothra is known for his witty tweets while pulling up violators online. However, tables turned on him Wednesday when he was stopped at airport security. Why? Well, he had a suitcase full of peas. Like most desi folks, who love to buy things at a good bargain, the Transport Commissioner of Odisha too was delighted to find peas at a low price. He bought them in bulk and arrived at the Jaipur airport with his bag loaded with green vegetables to travel to Bhubaneswar. He said he bought 10 kilos of peas for Rs 40 for a kg. “Security staff at Jaipur airport asked to open my handbag,” he wrote in a now-viral tweet.

Many, including several IAS and IFS officers, joined the conversation sharing witty puns while pulling his leg. But in true Bothra fashion, he was too seen playing along. Many shared their own experiences of doing the same and said they can totally relate to him. Others hope he ended his journey “peas-fully”.
