Only the ganja weight, 250 grams, is recorded; the 155 yaba tablets are not cannabis and the combined value of the drugs was not given, so no value figure is recorded.
The cash, Tk 1,430, was described as proceeds of drug sales, but it is not recorded as a confiscated-money figure because the source does not say it was seized under a confiscation order.
Police described the 35-year-old man as a drug trader but did not specify the quantities or evidence for a sale charge.
The statement gives no court outcome, bail decision or charge details beyond the drug-control law.
