SSBCrack's article is dated 16 October 2026. It says the operation "continued for more than 72 hours and resulted in the arrest of one individual on October 15, 2026". The date of the first seizure is not given, so the item uses the arrest date.

Quantities

The article gives "148.67 kg of hydroponic weed" in "120 plastic spools", found in "15 of the 19 cartons". It gives two values for the consignment: "approximately ₹52 crore" for the narcotics and "around ₹150 crore" as the potential street value in India, while the headline uses ₹150 crore. Neither value is stored.

Attribution

SSBCrack attributes the account of the shipment to the Ministry of Finance ("According to the Ministry of Finance, the shipment was declared as polyurethane (PU) tubes packed in 19 cartons"). The Bangkok origin is the shipment's point of dispatch as stated there; the article names no origin for the cannabis itself.

Map pin

The seizure was made at the Air Cargo Complex of Indira Gandhi International Airport. The pin is the airport (Wikidata Q821275) as an event site.
