The Himalayan Times reported that police in Sunsari seized around 2,566 kg of marijuana hidden among sacks of cauliflower in a truck, during a vehicle check at Sakhuwa Gachhi Chowk in Inaruwa Municipality ward 3 on Monday 5 October 2026. The truck was travelling west from the eastern part of the country, and police arrested the driver and his assistant.
