The Bhaskar page is paywalled beyond the opening paragraphs, so details beyond the 7 kg seizure, the scale and the count of two earlier cases rely on the Circle Samachar account.
The two outlets render the home village as Bersa and Barainsa; the report uses Barainsa from the corroborating account.
Circle Samachar says the accused was sent to the court after legal proceedings; the paywalled Bhaskar portion reportedly gives a Friday 4 pm jail referral, so the exact post-arrest referral wording remains open.
The Bhaskar-listed lead image has no caption or credit confirming it shows this seizure, so only the Circle Samachar photo is listed as media.
