IANS was published on 19 May 2026 and says "During the raid on May 17". ETV Bharat Gujarati was published on 19 May 2026 and Gujaratmitra prints no date, and neither gives the date of the raid. The stored date, 17 May 2026, follows IANS.
Source discrepancies
The three reports agree on the ANTF team led by Police Inspector R.V. Patel, the Rs 6,38,000 valuation, the 53-year-old man and the NDPS Act case. They differ on the points below.
| Point | IANS | ETV Bharat Gujarati | Gujaratmitra |
|---|---|---|---|
| The man | "Police also detained one individual" | ધરપકડ કરી છે (has arrested) | ધરપકડ કરી છે (has arrested) |
| Cannabis recovered | about 8.060 kilograms of green cannabis plants from cultivated land and 4.700 kilograms of dry cannabis from a residential premises | આશરે 12.760 કિલોગ્રામ (લીલો અને સૂકો), one total for green and dry together | આશરે 8.060 કિલોગ્રામ લીલો ગાંજો (Rs 4,03,000) and 4.700 કિલોગ્રામ સૂકો ગાંજો (Rs 2,35,000) |
| Who carried out the raid | "A.N.T.F. of CID Crime and Railways", with Kheroj Police Station investigating jointly | પોલીસ અને ANTFની ટીમ (the police and ANTF team) | ANTF |
| Village and area | Vinchi village, "Wadi area" | વીંછી ગામ, વાડી વિસ્તાર | વીછી ગામ, વાડ વિસ્તાર |
This news item follows IANS for the source link, the weights and the wording of the arrest, and attributes the detail to it.
Quantities
No report gives a plant count or an area, so the item carries neither. The 8.060 kg and 4.700 kg are IANS's weights, and the 12.76 kg that ETV Bharat and Gujaratmitra give is the sum of the two. The Rs 6,38,000 is the officials' valuation of the whole recovery; Gujaratmitra splits it into Rs 4,03,000 for the green plants and Rs 2,35,000 for the dry cannabis. It is kept as written and not used as a quantity.
Place
IANS places the raid "at Vinchi village in the Wadi area of Poshina taluka". The Gujarati reports write the village as વીંછી (ETV Bharat) and વીછી (Gujaratmitra), and the area as વાડી વિસ્તાર and વાડ વિસ્તાર. The item uses IANS's English spelling and does not resolve "Wadi area" to a named locality.
Map pin
This news item has no map pin. No gazetteer entry for Vinchi village could be matched with confidence, and the taluka headquarters would place the pin somewhere the raid did not happen.
Category
The reports describe cultivation on farmland and green plants recovered from it, together with dry cannabis recovered from a house. The item sits under Eradication for the plants taken from the land. Under Enforcement it would rest on the dry cannabis alone.
