The two reports differ on the court appearance: one mentions a Sunday court date, while the fuller report says he was produced on Saturday evening and sent to jail.
Both accounts are from Dainik Bhaskar, and the submitted report was paywalled after its opening lines; no independent outlet report was found.
No photograph of the arrest or the seized cannabis was published.
Police said a narcotics case was already registered against him, but the reports give no details of that case or its outcome.
The reports do not say whether a charge sheet was filed or what sentence he faces.
Anokha Teer describes the night as the intervening night of 30 and 31 October; the report keeps 30 October as the date of the arrest.
The new account does not mention the court appearance or the jail remand reported by Dainik Bhaskar.
