The Deccan Chronicle article is stamped 24 August 2026, 10:10 PM IST, and says police "arrested two persons during a vehicle check at Wardhannapet on Sunday". The photo caption says the police were "displaying the seized ganja and arrested accused at Wardhannapet on Monday". The item uses Sunday 23 August, the day of the check.
Source discrepancies
The article's tag line reads "four arrested". The body says police "arrested two persons" and that two other accused are absconding. The item follows the body.
Quantities
The article gives "129.334 kg of ganja, valued at ₹64.66 lakh" in "61 packets". The value is the figure printed in the article and is not converted or stored.
Attribution
The route is the police account: "the accused had allegedly procured ganja from the Chitrakonda and Darakonda areas of Odisha and were transporting it through Rajamahendravaram and Warangal to Bengaluru. From there, it was allegedly to be taken to Kerala for sale, police said". The article gives no other source for it.

The article says Warangal and names Wardhannapet as the place of the check. Wikidata lists Wardhannapet Mandal (Q65317699) in Warangal district (Q15399), which the item uses as the district.
Map pin
