The detailed account dates the Gujar Khedi action to 24 November despite publication on 30 October; the first action date and reported 35-day span cannot be reconciled.
The case-level plant counts imply about 66 plants (56, one tall plant, and about nine), but the source does not give a combined count.
Only Dainik Bhaskar coverage was found; the readable text page is an alternate view of the submitted video story, not an independent second account.

Left out, as its quotation was not found in Dainik Bhaskar: Police arrested Dhurve under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
