Police in Begusarai district raided a small neighbourhood grocery (kirana) shop in Batraha village, a locality that falls under the Chhaurahi police-station area, acting on the shop premises itself.[1][2] Station house officer Parendra Kumar led the raiding team on directions from Manjhaul Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Amarkant after a tip-off about drug sales.[2] During that same shop raid, officers arrested Sanjeev Yadav, who is described as linked to the shop, and took him into police custody as the person detained in the reported action.[1][2] Yadav was identified as a resident of Batraha village, where the shop stood in Ward No. 1 of Sahuri panchayat.[2] A photograph published alongside the report shows the accused in police custody after the Batraha shop raid.[1]
In the search of the shop, officers seized 50 grams of ganja, equivalent to 0.05 kg and recorded here as the cannabis seizure, together with 12.5 grams of smack found at the same premises.[1][2] Chhaurahi circle officer Chandraprakash Pandey attended the raid as magistrate during the formal seizure of the narcotics.[2] The report lists smack and ganja as two separate seized substances from the same shop search, so only the 50 grams of ganja is counted here as cannabis while the smack weight is left out of the cannabis figure.[1][2] The published account places the raid, both seizures and the arrest together at the Batraha village shop in the Chhaurahi area of Begusarai district.[1][2] Police registered a first information report (FIR) in the case, formally arrested Yadav, and questioned him to trace the source of the drugs and others involved in the trade.[2]
