The reports give no separate date for the interception and arrests; 6 November 2026 is their publication dateline and is used as the incident date.
The district reports do not say where Binjkot or Darramuda villages lie within Raigarh district, so the coordinates are for Raigarh town and the precision is district.
No court date or outcome beyond the judicial remand was reported.
The 60,000-rupee figure is the investigating police's estimated value, not a market valuation.
The page's lead photograph is captioned only that two accused were arrested with 60,000 rupees of ganja, with no credit and no visible description of the packets, so it could not be confirmed to show this seizure.
Neither new account gives a separate bag count or further cash beyond the four packets and 500 rupees already described.
Grand News names only Kumhar and does not give the NDPS sections or crime number, and its text closely follows the same police handout as other outlets, so it is not an independent account.
Hindusthan Samachar does not say where Binjkot or Darramuda lie within Raigarh district, so the coordinates stay at the district centre.
The Dainik Bhaskar capture stops after the first paragraph at the page's app paywall, so its full detail on the search, arrests and court step could not be read; only the opening paragraph and headline were available.
The Bhaskar headline gives the ganja as worth 60,000 rupees but no weight, and the readable text gives no cash figure, so neither supports a change to the report's 4.110 kg and 500 rupees.
The Bhaskar lead photograph is captioned only that two ganja traffickers were arrested and sent to jail, with no credit, so it cannot be confirmed to show the seized ganja rather than a posed picture of the accused.
The submitted Bhaskar page stops at the app paywall after its opening paragraph, so the rest of its account, including any NDPS section numbers or custody details, could not be read from the opened capture.
The page gives no separate date for the interception; 6 November 2026 is its publication date.
The page's lead photograph is captioned only with the headline and gives no credit or description of the seized packets, so it cannot be confirmed to show this seizure.
