Open questions the AI reported
The report does not name the NDPS Act sections or say whether the ganja was held for sale, so the charge is recorded only as possession under the NDPS Act.
No weight breakdown beyond the total of 1.6 kg of ganja was given, and police did not state a street value.
The court remand is reported, but no charge sheet or later court outcome is known.
No other outlet covering this arrest could be opened, so the account rests on the single Amar Ujala report from its Samalkha news bureau.
The Samalkha checking drive ended without any drug recovery; the report gives no arrest figure for it.
