Numerous incidents, including looting and the removal of tomatoes from menus, occurred as a result of the nationwide price increase.

Tomato prices have risen in recent weeks, rising from an average of Rs 20 per kg to as much as Rs 250 per kg in some regions of the nation. The price hike has made this everyday item of Indian food a valued asset, to the point that people are requesting their NRI relations to bring tomatoes in place of gifts.

According to the tweet, "My sister is coming to India from Dubai for her children's summer holidays and she asked my mum if she wanted anything from Dubai and my mother said bring 10 kilos of tomatoes. And so now she has packed 10kg tomatoes in a suitcase and sent it."

She clarified in a subsequent tweet that her sister had transported the tomatoes from Dubai to India by packing them in Pearlpet storage jars, which were then placed in her bag.
