The image has gone viral with over 48,000 limes and scores reactions. This led to a reaction from IAS officer Awanish Sharan shared his own experience of carrying vegetables on a flight.
Last time when I was coming back from Home, I paid Rs. 2,000 to @IndiGo6E guys for ‘लौकी’ & ‘बैगन’ at Airport.

Indian Forest Service Officer, Parveen Kaswan in a lighthearted tweeted wonder if this amounted to Mutter (peas) smuggling. One more user punned, I hope the incident concluded peas-fully.
