Open questions the AI reported
- Chandablast's itemised list gives the cannabis as '4.910 grams' while its headline says 5 kg; Policekaka and City News give 4 kg 910 g (4.910 kg), the figure used here.
- No court appearance, remand order or plea was reported.
- The three reports repeat the same police account and wording and appear to come from one handout rather than independent reporting.
- The photograph published with the report has no caption or credit, so who is shown is unclear.
- Left out, as its quotation was not found in CHANDABLAST: The trap was set on 31 October 2026 after a tip-off that he was bringing ganja from Nagpur to sell in Arvi.
- Left out, as its quotation was not found in CHANDABLAST: The trap involved police staff, panch (local) witnesses, revenue officials and a forensic team.
