The reports give no separate date for the raid; 4 November 2026 is the publication date of the Dainik Bhaskar and Koyalanchal News accounts and is used as the incident date.
Dainik Bhaskar's readable opening names the cultivator accused only as the farmer Kamal; the full name Kamal Bamaniya and his age of 50 come from Koyalanchal News.
No field area was published, so no hectares figure is recorded.
Sources describe the plants as pulled up and seized; they do not say whether they were destroyed or kept as evidence.
The Dainik Bhaskar account continues with a court appearance and police remand that appear only in its paywalled section, so no remand is recorded.
Koyalanchal News and the state police release repeat the district police account, so no fully independent reporting of the raid was found.
Coordinates are for Nisarpur in Kukshi tehsil; Nimbol itself could not be geocoded.
The lead photograph on the Dainik Bhaskar page carries no caption or credit, so what it depicts is not established; only the second photograph is captioned as the cotton and pigeon pea field.
