Source discrepancies
India Today NE, the cited source, has one paragraph on this arrest within a report on ganja saplings destroyed in Sepahijala district. Tripura Star News published a report of its own on the arrest. The two differ on where the three people came from and on who is named. This news item follows India Today NE for the officer, and the two reports are set side by side here.
| Outlet | Origin of the three people | Quantity | Force or officer named |
|---|---|---|---|
| India Today NE (cited), 1 September 2025 | "three individuals from Bihar, including two women" | "29 kg of dried ganja" | "confirmed Obadur Rahaman, officer-in-charge of Agartala GRP Police Station" |
| Tripura Star News, 31 August 2025 | Patna, Bihar; Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh; Golaghat, Assam | "29.140 Kg dry cannabis" | "Government Railway Police (GRP), Railway Protection Force (RPF)"; no officer named |

Tripura Star News is datelined "30th of August, 2025" and says the arrests were made "at about 9.30 PM" on "Saturday (30th August, 2025)". India Today NE was published on 1 September 2025 and gives no date for the arrest. This news item dates the arrests to 30 August 2025 following Tripura Star News. It was first dated 31 August 2025, the publication date of Tripura Star News, and carried the title News:2025-08-31/Enforcement/three-bihar-residents-arrested-at-agartala-railway-station-with-29-kg-of-dry-ganja, which now redirects here.
Headline
The original headline called the three Bihar residents. Only India Today NE says so; Tripura Star News gives three different home states, so the headline now says only that three people were arrested.
