The Divya Bhaskar text dates the operations to 2 November 2024 while it was published on 3 November 2026; 2 November 2026 is used as the incident date consistent with the Abtak report dated 2 November 2026.
Divya Bhaskar rounds the Dhoraji seizure to Rs 4.90 lakh of ganja within Rs 5 lakh total, while Abtak gives Rs 489,850 within Rs 499,850; the report uses the precise Abtak figures.
The Divya Bhaskar page lead photo has an empty caption and alt text, so whether it shows this Dhoraji seizure could not be established and it is not listed as media.
The submitted Divya Bhaskar page also describes a separate 3.816 kg Upleta Machhi Market seizure already recorded in upleta-machhi-market-3-8kg-arrest, which is left out of this Dhoraji report.
No court outcome beyond the NDPS complaint at Dhoraji City police station was reported.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Divya Bhaskar: Rural SOG officers found Jamjodhpur residents Kasam Juma Sama and Ashwin Girdhar Bhalodiya in suspicious circumstances near Janana Ground beyond Sardar Chowk in Dhoraji during patrolling.

Left out, as its quotation was not found in Divya Bhaskar: The men allegedly sourced the ganja from Kansa village in Balasore district, Odisha, and police are investigating a wanted Odisha suspect and the wider supply network.
Not added to upleta-machhi-market-3-8kg-arrest, as its quotation was not found in Divya Bhaskar: Police said the detained man admitted bringing the ganja by train from a man in Kangsa (Kansa) village in Balasore district, Odisha, to sell retail in the Upleta area.
The GSTV page combines two seizures already recorded separately as Dhoraji and Upleta reports, so no combined quantity is recorded as a new event.
No second full outlet account of the combined roundup could be opened; social-media snippets mentioning the same 13.6 kg total are not evidence.
