Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
No weight was published for the ganja, described only as one puri for each of the two men held with cannabis, so no cannabis weight is recorded.
The yaba counts of three tablets and one tablet belong to the same operation but are not cannabis and are excluded from the figures.
The four received different jail terms of 14, 12, 7 and 7 days, so no single prison figure is recorded.
The account rests on a single Bengali news report quoting the Rajbari Sadar Thana press release.
The report does not say whether any fine was imposed or whether the men appealed against their sentences.
The time of day the four were detained is not stated; only the 8:20 pm press release time is given.
