The English account gives no incident date and says only that the seizure happened 'few hours ago'; this report uses the evening of 29 October 2026 given by the Hindi report, which also spells the road Viloniya Chak rather than Billonia Chak.
The English account presents the ganja arrest as leading to the syndicate arrest, while the Hindi police statement describes two separate actions that day; the 2025 smack (heroin) case is outside this report and its figures.
The reports do not say whether Agarwal was produced in court or whether a charge sheet was filed.
The stop is described only as on the road to Viloniya Chak ahead of Do Khamba; no village or exact spot is named, so the coordinates are for Guna district.
The police's 4.25 lakh rupee total includes the car; the ganja alone was valued at about 1.25 lakh rupees, the figure recorded here.
