Only one report of the interception could be opened, and the page is partly closed by Dainik Bhaskar's app paywall after its opening paragraphs.
The reports give no date for the stop; 5 November 2026 is the article's publication date and is used as the incident date.
The arrested man's name, age and home area were not published.
No charge, value for the ganja, or court outcome was reported.
The photograph carried with the report has no caption or credit establishing that it shows this seizure, so the related images were not used beyond a single gallery link.

Left out, as its quotation was not found in Dainik Bhaskar: The arrested man is being questioned, and the team is gathering information on where the ganja came from, who was meant to buy it and the smuggling network.
The new account reports a woman arrested among three vehicle occupants with the other two unconfirmed, while the existing report records a man driving a Scorpio arrested near Lohrauli village, so the number and identity of those arrested remain unresolved.
The new page gives no separate date for the interception, so 5 November 2026 remains the article publication date used as the incident date.
No name, age, home area, charge, estimated value or court outcome for the arrested person was published in the opened text.
The page carries one image captioned only as Thoothibari police success with no caption or credit establishing that it shows this seizure, so no media entry is included.
No police or agency statement for this interception could be opened; a search for a further report of the same event found no additional accessible source.
