Khala Par police in Muzaffarnagar arrested four men from Meerut's Sindhawali village and seized 25.7 kg of ganja, valued by police at 385,500 rupees, during a street check on 6 November 2026.

Police in Muzaffarnagar’s Khala Par station area arrested four men from Meerut on suspicion of
smuggling ganja on 6 November 2026.[1][2][3][4][5][6]The four come from Sindhawali village on Rohta Road,
in the Kankarkhera police station area of Meerut district.[1][3][4][5][7]
Sub-inspector Asgar Ali’s team stopped them at about 1:15 pm on the lane behind Sharden School, on the
way from Meerut Road towards Garhabagh, after they turned back at the sight of the police patrol.[1][3][5]Each man carried a bag, and police say the four bags together held 25 kg700 grams of ganja.[1][3][8][5]Police also seized four mobile phones.[1][8][5][9]They had the ganja weighed and put its
value at 385,500 rupees.[1][3][5][6]
The case
Police registered case 195/2026 at Khala Par station under sections 8/20 of the NDPS Act[1][5], and
the four were produced in court and sent to jail in judicial custody.[9]One account says a
chargesheet was filed against all four.[8]Assistant superintendent and city circle officer
Siddharth K. Mishra said the arrests came in a district campaign against drug smugglers ordered by
senior superintendent Suraj Kumar Rai.[1]
The accused told police they had bought the ganja from a man named Harish in Uttarakhand and brought
larger loads when festival-season demand pushed prices up[1][3][5]; Harish was said to bring it from
the hills of Pauri, and the men sold it in small packets in Meerut and Muzaffarnagar.[10][8][6]Special
teams were formed to arrest Harish, who is still at large.[9]
Police said one of the four, Anwar, is on the Meerut police’s history sheet at Kankarkhera station as
number 155A, with earlier cases of robbery, gangster law, the Arms Act and assault; Talib faced a 2020
NDPS case at Meerut’s Civil Lines station and Irshan a 2023 NDPS case at Khatauli.[1][6]Two accounts
say the four had earlier been caught or jailed in Uttarakhand under the NDPS Act.[8][9]Police are
tracing the wider network.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
The reports do not say whether the four accused were remanded to custody or released on bail.
Neither report gives the individual weight carried by each of the four men.
Only two outlets, one of them a local Hindi news site, were opened for this event; no police statement or official release was found.
The Royal Bulletin page picture carries no credit and no caption text of its own, so it is linked rather than treated as established agency evidence.
The accused are named in the reports; no ages are given.
The supplier named Harish was not arrested and the reports give no details of his identification or whereabouts.
Only the article's opening paragraph was readable in the captured page; the later paragraphs sit behind the outlet's app paywall, so the detailed figures stated in this article were not verified against it.
The Janbhawna Times is based in Haryana and bylines the story to a reporter named Rohit; its account appears to draw on the same Muzaffarnagar police briefing as the other reports.
Hindustan puts the recovered ganja's value at about four lakh rupees, while Amar Ujala and the other reports give 3,85,500 rupees; the report keeps the specific figure.
Hindustan says police filed the chargesheet against the four men, which the other accounts do not mention; it is not clear whether a chargesheet had been filed or only the arrest papers and the court production were completed.
Hindustan identifies the accused by name and by their fathers' first names.
Hindustan pages are marked as auto-published from print and the account rests on the same assistant superintendent of police's briefing as the other reports.
The submitted Amar Ujala article is a later version of the Amar Ujala story the report already cites: its closing paragraph attributes the Pauri sourcing without naming Harish in the sentence about the supplier, while Hindustan names him.
Hindustan's claim that the accused were caught smuggling drugs in Uttarakhand a few days earlier is a single-outlet assertion with no date, place or case reference.
Hindustan gives the consignment as 25 kg in its main text, rounded from the 25 kg 700 g carried in the four bags.
The article gives the police case only as one under the NDPS Act and does not state the sections, case number or whether a chargesheet had been filed.
The article reports that the history-sheeted accused Anwar also faces dacoity cases, while the account already cited in the tracker lists robbery, gangster, Arms Act and assault cases; the tracker keeps its existing wording.
The Royal Bulletin page says the accused each named the Uttarakhand supplier Harish in questioning, while it gives no ages, no history-sheet number and no case number, unlike earlier accounts.
Dainik Bhaskar's detailed paragraphs about the questioning sit behind its app paywall; only the opening paragraphs before the paywall were readable.
Dynamite News says a case was registered at Khala Par station under the NDPS Act and the four were produced in court, without stating whether they were remanded or released on bail.
None of the three pages opened for this update reports a chargesheet, plea or court outcome beyond production before a magistrate.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Dainik Bhaskar: Police had the ganja weighed and put its estimated value at 385,500 rupees.
The page gives no NDPS section numbers, case number or chargesheet status, and no plea or further court outcome beyond production and judicial remand.
No ages are published for the four arrested men.
The page rounds the seizure to 25 kg and the value to about 4 lakh rupees, against the 25 kg 700 g and 385,500 rupees already recorded.
The article is a single local-outlet account that appears to draw on the same Muzaffarnagar police briefing as the reports already cited; no police statement page was opened.
Kangra district police's CIA team arrested two men from Chamba district with 1.107 kg of charas in the Sokru Dam area of Baijnath. A case was registered under the NDPS Act at Baijnath police station, and police said they were questioning the men about the source of the charas and where it was to be supplied.
Police in Sirari bazaar in Bihar's Sheikhpura district seized 150 grams of ganja from a paan stall and arrested Doman Singh, also known as Prabhakar Singh.

Bandipora police arrested two men travelling on a scooty at Gunchipora near Bakshi Bund on 11 November 2026 and recovered 914 grams of a suspected cannabis powder-like substance from them.
