Rediff's article, a Press Trust of India report, says customs officials spoke "on Friday" (30 October) and that "The seizure was made on October 28 after the passengers were intercepted on the basis of profiling", on "two separate flights from Bangkok on October 28". The item uses 28 October.
Quantities
The article gives "26.67 kg" in "26 polythene pouches", "13 packets inside one black-coloured trolley bag and 13 packets inside another". The value of "approximately Rs 9.33 crore" is the customs statement's estimate and is not stored. It says a diagnostic test "prima facie indicated that it was marijuana/hydroponic weed".
