The report repeats the time of the arrest but gives no further detail on the operation, and no second outlet's account of this Sector-71 arrest was found.
The source does not say whether the woman was selling ganja, where she obtained it or how it was meant to be used; the trafficking suspicion is the police's description of the arrest.
The statement mentions FIR 441/2022 under sections 8/20 NDPS without saying whether it concerns this woman or is a general station reference.
No charge sheet, remand order or court date was reported; the case is recorded as charged only because an FIR was registered.
The source gives no value for the ganja and no count of packets.
Royal Bulletin's same-day roundup places this arrest beside the Sector-71 underpass service road on a ganja trafficking charge, matching this report's location, but gives no case number or the woman's origin as recorded here.
