IPS officer asked to open handbag at airport; authorities shocked after what was found
Senior IPS officer, identified as Arun Bothra has left Twitter in stitches with his recent post.
On Wednesday, the IPS officer, uploaded an image of a suitcase filled with green peas. He revealed that the picture was taken at the airport in Jaipur, where security officials asked him to open his hand bag for further check, perhaps after scanners picked up something unusual inside.
Opening the handbag revealed that it was fulled with fresh green peas bought at Rs 40 per kg, the IPS officer said.
"Security at Jaipur airport asked to open my handbag," he captioned the picture, adding an emoji at the end. It is not clear if the IPS officer was joking or not, but his post has definitely amused social media users.
