Bengaluru: As per twitter data PM Modi has energed as the most talked abhout political figure in the election month. On Saturday, April 13 twitter was again buzzing with queries on a mysterious box offloaded from PM Narendra Modi’s chopper last week.

Questions such as -What was in that mystery box that was off-loaded from PM Narendra Modi’s chopper last week? His clothes? Weapons? Cash to be distributed to voters? Or was there something else? became a hot topic of discussion among Twitter users. The question started trending even more after KPCC chief Dinesh Gundu Rao too tweeted the same question. He also tagged the Chief Electoral Officer Karnataka in his tweet urging them to enquire into what was in the box and to whom the vehicle belonged.

Last week, when Modi was in Chitradurga, a 14-second video of two people from Modi’s security detail, lifting what seemed like a heavy trunk, went viral. The box was placed into an SUV, part of the Prime Minister’s convoy. “A mysterious box was unloaded from PM Modi’s helicopter at Chitradurga yesterday and loaded into a private Innova which quickly sped away. The #Election Commission should enquire into what was in the box and to whom the vehicle belonged. @ceo_karnataka,” Dinesh Gundu Rao tweeted, albeit with the wrong date for Modi’s rally which was last week.

Few of the twitter user guessed that the box migh have had Modi products and masks for public, others did back-of-the-hand calculations speculating that it couldn’t be silver or gold.

“It is not Modi’s suits/shoes, etc. That wouldn’t appear so unbearably heavy for 2 people either & why box?” another user questioned.

However, Superintendent of Police Dr Arun K ended the mystery surrounding the black box by stating that as per information received from security agencies, the box was part of the PM’s security detail, kept in a vehicle which was a part of his convoy.
