The two accounts differ on the raid address: Rupali Bangladesh puts it in the Adarshapara area of Santahar, while Daily Joypur Barta describes it as in the New Bazaar area of Santahar municipal town.
The raid time differs by about half an hour: around 10 am in Rupali Bangladesh, around 9:30 am in Daily Joypur Barta.
The 102 yaba tablets are amphetamine-based and are not counted in the cannabis figures; the accounts give no separate values for the drugs.
Jambu's address is given as the Adarshapara area in one account and the New Bazaar area in the other.
Both accounts appear to draw on the same local correspondent report, so they may not be independent, and no police statement beyond the officer's comments was opened.
No charge, remand hearing, fine, prison term or court outcome beyond being sent to court was reported.
