The Times of India's article is stamped 31 October 2026, 11:15 pm, and does not give the date of the seizure. Dainik Jagran's English edition writes "The operation was carried out around 2 am on Saturday, October 31", which the item uses.
Source discrepancies
The two outlets give the weight differently.
| Outlet | Weight |
|---|---|
| The Times of India | "871.95 kg" |
| Dainik Jagran (English) | "871.095 kg", and "871 kg and 95 grams" |
Both give the value as Rs 4.35 crore. The item follows the Times of India and gives its figure.
Attribution
The route and the intended delivery are the driver's statement as the police reported it: "Singh told investigators that he had loaded the ganja on Oct 27 on the instructions of" a man in Balangir, Odisha, and the consignment "was to be unloaded near a Jio petrol pump before reaching Maihar". The article names the men and this news item does not.
Category
The ganja was found in a container stopped on a national highway and described as brought from another state, so the item is recorded as Trafficking rather than Enforcement.
