The press note quoted by ANI says the car was intercepted "On 12th October 2026". ANI's opening line says "on Tuesday", which was 13 October 2026, the date of the ANI report. The stored date follows the press note.
Source discrepancies
| Point | ANI | The Hindu |
|---|---|---|
| Value | "Rs 1.78 crore", with "a market value of Rs 3.17 crore" | "₹3.17 crore" |
| Vehicle | an Innova, hired as a "self-drive rental car" | "an SUV" |
| Men | "two persons from another state" | "both from Keralam" |
The item follows ANI, which carries the press note. Neither value is stored.
Attribution
ANI says the men "purchased ganja at a low price from an unidentified person" in Odisha and meant to sell it in Kerala; these are the men's statements to police as given in the press note. The Hindu says the ganja "was being transported from Odisha to Keralam through Bengaluru" and attributes the report to the Bengaluru Police Commissioner at a press conference.
Place
The report is datelined Bengaluru. The interception was near the Eidgah Ground at Kambipura, and neither outlet names the district. The district stored, Bengaluru Urban, is the one OpenStreetMap gives for Kambipura. ANI spells the police station "Kumbalagodu" and The Hindu "Kumbalgodu".
