Dating

Neither report gives the date of the raid. Gujarat First was published on 4 October 2026 and IANS on 5 October 2026. The stored date follows the earlier publication date. The sources leave an earlier day possible.

Source discrepancies

The two reports agree on the 322 plants, the valuation of Rs 36,83,400 and the arrest of three men. Each adds details the other lacks. IANS says the cannabis was "concealed among cotton crops" and gives its weight as 73.662 kg; Gujarat First mentions neither. Gujarat First says the plants were found in ત્રણ અલગ-અલગ ખેતરોમાં (three separate fields); IANS says "agricultural land" under the three men's possession and gives no number of fields. This news item follows IANS for the source link and attributes each detail to its outlet.

Quantities

Gujarat First gives the count as 322 જેટલા (about 322) and IANS as 322; the item stores 322. The weight is IANS's alone. The Rs 36,83,400 is the police valuation in both reports, kept as written and not used as a quantity.

Map pin

This news item has no map pin. No gazetteer entry for Kalikankar village could be matched with confidence, and the taluka headquarters would place the pin somewhere the raid did not happen.

Related news items

IANS reports the Kalikankar case in the same article as the Anjani case, and Gujarat First calls it the third case in Poshina taluka in three days, after Kotda Gadhi and Anjani. Those two have their own news items, Kotda Gadhi and Anjani. This news item covers only Kalikankar.
