Dainik Statesman reported that Polerhat police station ran an operation at Hatishala in Bhangar and recovered 40 kg of ganja from a yellow taxi, arresting four people. According to the report the driver said he was coming from Sealdah and the passengers said they were residents of Cooch Behar district, and that answer increased the officers' suspicion and led to the search. Those statements are accounts of where the passengers live, and the report says police were still trying to establish where the ganja came from.
