The article gives no date for the patrol or the arrests; 7 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
No charge sheet, court production or remand was reported for the four.
The 520 tablets are not cannabis and are not included in cannabis figures; the article does not name the drug in them.
The article does not say who the ganja was being moved for or from where it came, and no value estimate was published.
Only one accessible source for this event was found after searching in Tamil and English.
