Daily Sun's article is stamped 1 November 2026 and says the arrests were made "around 10pm on Friday", which was 30 October, and that the SRB press release was "issued on Saturday morning" (31 October). The item uses 30 October.
Source discrepancies
The article credits the Special Response Battalion with the arrests, and then says "A team of RAB-5 conducted the operation". The item names the Special Response Battalion, as the headline and the press release do.
Quantities
The article gives "52kg of cannabis" and an estimated market value of "Tk20.80 lakh", which is not stored. The arrested men are named in the article, and this news item does not name them.
Category
The cannabis was found in a pickup van stopped at a highway checkpoint, so the item is recorded as Trafficking rather than Enforcement.
