From dance steps to dialogues, we all have tried copying different scenes from the movies. However, a man took ‘copying’ to another level as he tried to smuggle goods. Inspired by the movie Pushpa: The Rise, the thief attempted smuggling red sandalwood into his truck.
That’s right!

To hide the red sandalwood, he placed the boxes of fruits and vegetables on top of the smuggled goods. In order to reduce the suspicion, he had also put a sticker of COVID-19 essential products on his truck.
However, his luck ran out as he was arrested by police when he crossed the border and entered the Gandhi Chowk area at Meera Nagar in the Sangli district of Maharashtra.
Netizens couldn’t calm and here’s how they reacted:
