Source discrepancies
Four outlets reported this seizure at Dakneshwori Municipality-6, Saptari, on 20 September 2026 with four different quantities. The record follows OnlineKhabar, the cited source, which attributes its account to the central police newsroom.
| Outlet | Quantity | Other details |
|---|---|---|
| OnlineKhabar (cited) | "20 quintals of marijuana" | "arrested two persons"; 56 sacks from one home and "64 sacks" from the other; found "during a regular police patrol" |
| Ratopati (English edition, machine-translated) | "approximately 1400 kilograms of marijuana packed in 56 sacks" | one person taken into custody; recovered from one house "Based on a special tip" |
| The Himalayan Times | "around 2,000 kilograms of a substance suspected to be marijuana" | "Police detain two people after recovering 64 packets from houses in Dakneshwari" |
| Kantipur (English edition, machine-translated) | "More Than 2.1 Tonnes of Cannabis" (headline) | "Two people have been arrested" |
Ratopati's 56 sacks and single house match the first of the two homes in OnlineKhabar's account. Kantipur's English body text is behind a sign-in wall and only its headline and standfirst were read.
