The Deccan Herald article, the cited source, published on 16 September 2026, covers three cases in one piece. It opens: "Customs officials at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) have intercepted three cases of hydroponic ganja smuggling from Bangkok in the past four days, seizing 28.95 kg of the contraband valued at more than Rs 10 crore." Each case has its own news item: 14 September case and 15 September case. This news item carries the 12 September case, 990 g, and not the combined 28.95 kg. The article's paragraph on this case says "990 grams of ganja" and does not say hydroponic, and this news item says ganja.
