No separate second account from another outlet or from Chhattisgarh police could be opened, so the report rests on one Hindi news page.
The incident date is 7 November 2026, the morning of the arrests; the tip-off came the previous night and 7 November is also the publication date.
The men were named with ages and home villages in the article, but those identifiers are left out of this report.
No court step, remand order or specific NDPS section was reported; police said only that the case was registered under the NDPS Act.
The 1,675,000 rupees for the ganja and 1,855,000 rupees for the total haul are police estimates, and the price the ganja would fetch in Madhya Pradesh was not reported.
The article does not say whether more people are suspected in the transport network or who was to buy the ganja in Madhya Pradesh.
The exact barricade spot behind MGM School is not mapped, so coordinates are for Nava Raipur.
The page photo carries no credit line and no caption beyond the headline, so whether it is a police handout is not confirmed.
