Police in the Gandhwani station area of Dhar district, Madhya Pradesh, raided a field in Borda village after an informer said cannabis was being grown illegally among cotton and pigeon pea, known locally as tuvar.[1] A trusted informer gave that tip on 28 October 2026, after police had been receiving reports of illegal cannabis cultivation in fields under the Jeerabad outpost and Gandhwani police station.[1]

After checking the tip, the team searched the fields and recovered 360 green cannabis plants, ganja in local usage, from the cotton field of Magarsingh, son of Dhansingh Bilwal.[1] Police said the plants weighed 433.70 kilograms in all, seized them, and put their estimated price at 43 lakh rupees.[1] Officers arrested 45-year-old Magarsingh Bilwal, the field owner, and registered a case.[1]

The action was led by station in-charge Pradeep Khanna, with Jeerabad outpost in-charge sub-inspector Manish Kumar Choudhary, head constable Sukhram Chauhan, other constables and a soldier named Parvat.[1]
